Taxi! is a 1932 film starring James Cagney and Loretta Young. The movie was directed by Roy Del Ruth.
The film includes two famous Cagney dialogues, one of which features Cagney conducting a conversation with a passenger in Yiddish, and the other when Cagney is speaking to his brother's killer through a locked closet, "Come out and take it, you dirty yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!." The provenance of this sequence led to Cagney being famously misquoted as saying, "You dirty rat, you killed my brother."
Also, in a lengthy and memorable sequence, an unbilled George Raft and his partner win a ballroom dance contest against Cagney and Young, after which Cagney slugs Raft and knocks him down.
