James Cagney in The Oklahoma Kid (1939)

Trivia

The Oklahoma Kid

Edit
Humphrey Bogart was widely quoted as saying that co-star James Cagney looked like "a mushroom" in his costume.
This was James Cagney's first western. It was not a commercial or critical success. He would appear in only two more westerns, Run for Cover (1955) and Tribute to a Bad Man (1956), much later in his career.
There were a total of five land runs in Oklahoma (1889, 1891, 1892, 1893, and 1895). Tulsa was not involved or formed as a result of any of the land runs.
Regarding Humphrey Bogart's "mushroom" jibe about James Cagney in his cowboy hat--Bogart said that Cagney looked like a mushroom--Cagney had a revenge of sorts. After seeing Bogie picking his nose in his car, he wrote a little rhyme: "In this little town of ours, people see all sorts of primps and poses . . . but movie stars in fancy cars shouldn't pick their famous noses". Apparently, according to Michael J. Fox in his excellent documentary about Cagney--James Cagney: Top of the World (1992)--he sent it to Bogart, but didn't receive a reply.
Cagney later appeared with Rosemary Lane's sister Priscilla Lane in The Roaring Twenties (1939), which Humphrey Bogart appeared in as well.
