He Was Her Man is a 1934 American pre-Code mob film starring James Cagney, Joan Blondell, and Victor Jory.
[1][2] Flicker Hayes informs the police after he sets up two men to be caught in a phony robbery attempt, because they were responsible for his going to prison.
But he meets down-and-out Rose Lawrence, an ex-prostitute looking to hitch a ride to a small fishing village in the south to marry a Portuguese fisherman, and Flicker decides it would be a nice place to hide.
But he's been spotted by Pop Sims, who follows them and reports Flicker's whereabouts to Dan.
Meanwhile, Rose falls in love with Flicker, who is unaware that the hitmen are coming to kill him.
