 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })He Was Her Man is a 1934 film directed by Lloyd Bacon.Flicker Hayes (James Cagney) is a safecracker, recently released from prison, who is recruited by his friends Curly and Deering to pull another job. However, Flicker blames them for apparently causing him to take the rap on the previous job and go to prison in the first place. So instead of going with them on the robbery, he alerts the cops. The cops catch Curly and Deering in the act, Deering shoots a cop, and, eventually, Deering is executed.Unfortunately for Flicker, Curly got away and tells the mob that Flicker betrayed them. Finding it advisable to get out of town, Flicker heads to San Francisco. There he meets an ex-hooker, Rose (Joan Blondell), who is headed to the small coastal town of Santa Avila to marry a hard-working fisherman named Nick (Victor Jory). Looking for an out-of-the-way place to lay low, and having taken an immediate fancy to the lovely Rose, Flicker goes with her. What Flicker doesn't know is that a hoodlum named Pop Sims has heard of Flicker's presence in San Francisco, and has tracked him to Santa Avila.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Seventh and last film pairing Blondell and Cagney, all made between 1930 and 1934.

 The Bad Guy Wins: The mobsters succeed in tracking down Flicker, hauling him out of Santa Avila at gunpoint, and murdering him. Very soon after this film was released such endings would no longer be allowed, with the imposition of The Hays Code.

 Betty and Veronica: Rose is torn between Nick (nurturing, supportive, accepting) and Flicker (dangerous, exciting). She's grateful to Nick but her sexual attraction to Flicker is obvious.

 Conscience Makes You Go Back: Conscience and love. Flicker is boarding the bus out of town, having figured out that the gangsters have found him, when he stops. Instead he goes back and saves Rose at the cost of his own life.
