[b] White Heat - (Walsh;1949;USA) - **** An epileptic gangster with a devotion to his mother goes to prison for a minor offense to avoid a larger one, while his friends betray him from the outside. Excellent gangster film. One of the best I've ever seen. Cagney is great in his role, along with Wycherly. Steiner's music is also very good. The ending and the line said during it are both classic. It's also a very compelling scene. The prison lunch pass-it-on scene is wonderful. A must-see for gangster fans. #79 [/b]
I watched this film for the first time tonight. I was blown away. My grandfather used to always talk about James Cagney in this particular film, but as a child, I had no idea who or what the hell he was talking about. I'll definitely have to get the Warner Gangsters Collection.
