Review of White Heat (1949) by Andy C — 20 Dec 2010
Finally got a copy of this sent to me and man! I dont usually like old black and white films as thewy bore the hell outta me but this was really good. I have seen many impresiions of James Cagney and now that I actually got to see the man himself, I can see what the impressionists were doing.
Alot of them that I saw were dead on! Cagney delivers a riveting performance of gangster boss Cody Jarrett. Jarrett is a psychopathic mama's boy who while in the pen plans a heist of an oil refinery unbeknownst to him that his new cell mate is a plant by the police.
A great film that if anyone knows of other classics I might enjoyt such as this please share!! Renewed my faith in the era of black and white film. ON TOP OF THE WORLD MA!!!
