Tonight on TCM #TCM
WHITE HEAT (1949)
one of the great gangster films, powered by James Cagney at his most unhinged as Cody Jarrett, a psychopathic mob boss with a crippling mother fixation. Directed by Raoul Walsh, it blends noir intensity with near operatic madness. Essential viewing. 🎥

Friedkin spoke with a man who survived an attempted murder by the alleged serial killer at the time, and he mentioned the assailant's little sing-song couplet "Who's here, I'm here, you're here." He made note of it and included it in the film.
