"Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"Director: Raoul Walsh
Starring: James Cagney, Virginia Mayo
Ohh, I couldn't resist. No no no no no. Forget the VU for now. This is it, this is great:
A psychopath, gunquick and cruel, his brains and strains of human compassion hanging on his equally cold, stern-faced mother. And imagine, we just started Freud in my Humanities class. White Heat is fast-paced, intriguing, a fine and classic gangster film. I think my favorite aspect is somehow throughout the movie I found myself rooting for both the good guys and at times the bad as they dabbled on the fence, wheeling and dealing affairs of love and murder like a walk in the park.
