Jan 24, 2019 · “White Heat,” about the final months in a gang leader’s life, is a ruthless tale, ruthlessly told—an artistic peak for its star James Cagney and its director, Raoul Walsh, who had worked on two other features together, the gangster classic “The Roaring Twenties” and the romantic comedy “The Strawberry Blonde.”
White Heat marked the feature film debut of popular character actor Ford Rainey (1908-2005). This film was James Cagney's first gangster film since the 1939 Roaring Twenties , directed by Raoul Walsh (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1931-40 ; F3:3801).
