White Heat
Have You Ever Seen - A podcast by Ryan Ellis & Bev Ellis
Categories:
We’re gandering at our first Jimmy Cagney picture in almost 6 years…and what a hard left turn from his patriotic musical Yankee Doodle Dandy. The Next 148 Project digs into the vicious 70-year-old crime flick where Cagney is unhinged and might even be over-acting, but in the right way. A great way. The supporting cast is solid too (including Virginia Mayo and Edmond O’Brien), but this flick belongs to the copper-hater. It’s a police procedural mixed with low-down antics from the criminals and that mix works extremely well, all the way to its famous finish. Dubious bonus: this episode might have set a new record for the Ellis usage of the word “gangster”. They didn’t have Sparkplug Coffee back in 1949, but you can get all you want on the modern Internets. Our promo code, “top100project”, will nail you a 10% discount.
