As a psychotic thug devoted to his hard-boiled ma, James Cagney older, scarier and just as electrifying gives a performance to match his work in The Public Enemy as White Heat's cold-blooded Cody Jarrett.

Bracingly directed by Raoul Walsh, this fast-paced thriller tracing Jarretts violent life in and out of jail is also a harrowing character study. Jarrett is a psychological time bomb ruled by impulse. He murders a wounded accomplice and revels in the act. He neglects his sultry wife (Virginia Mayo) and adores his doting mother. It is among the most vivid screen performances of Cagneys career, and the excitement it generates will put you on top of the world!
