The Tough Guys: James Cagney: White Heat

on BBC One London

Also starring Virginia Mayo, Edmond O'Brien, Margaret Wycherly, Steve Cochran

Ruthless gunman Cody Jarrett and his gang pull off a $300,000 train robbery but commit murder. They take refuge in a remote mountain cabin where Cody's mother and wife are waiting.
As Cody Jarrett - a near psychopath with a mother fixation - James Cagney gives one of his finest performances. It provides an interesting contrast to his appearance, earlier in this season, as the crusading journalist in Each Dawn I Die, and marked Cagney's triumphant return to the gangster film after an absence of nearly ten years.
