White Heat

James Cagney   d/ Raoul Walsh

Classic gangster film from 1949. The combination of Cagney's incredible dynamism and Walsh's editing pace made this fly by. Some aspects of the production were a bit creaky but none of that mattered when Cody Jarrett was on screen. Virginia Mayo played the generic moll. Lots of familiar B-movie faces rounded out the cast. Cagney's last great film.

Top of the world, Ma...
