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. 🎥

Came out the same year as Martin Scorsese's After Hours (1985), which was another dark comedy neo noir where a passive guy in his thirties winds up with a wild woman in the big city (albeit Soho, New York instead of Los Angeles, California).
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.
One of two Vietnam War themed films to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in 1979, with the other film being the Oscar winner, The Deer Hunter (1978).
Jane Fonda and Bruce Dern previously appeared in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969).
Ben Gazzara was unhappy with the role initially, unable to connect w/ Cosmo Vitelli. That changed when shooting a scene, Cassavetes spoke to Gazzara about the gangsters in the film as a metaphor for the people who are constantly trying to steal or ruin people's dreams
Carmine Caridi also appeared in The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight (1971), which was also based on Joe Gallo's life.
Sam Coppola and Tony Lip would both go on to star in The Sopranos (1999). Coppola as Dr. Melfis family therapist, and Tony Lip as Carmine Senior.
