I grew up watching on television the Warner Brothers movies of the 30's and early 40's, and especially the gangster films with Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart and the wonderful Jimmy Cagney. Cops and crooks -- I could not get enough. Cagney was the most magnetic, confident, likeable screen actor, and created many memorable screen characterizations over his career, with never a false note ...
- WHITE HEAT (1949) If Cagney’s greatness as an actor is called into question, one only has to look to his two most famous gangster roles for proof of it: precode Tom Powers of “Public Enemy” is a young, ruthless criminal, made sympathetic by his poor background; post-code Cody Jarrett of “White Heat” is an aging and absolute psychopath, with no redeeming qualities.
- YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942) “My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you. And I thank you.” Cagney earned his second Academy Award nomination and only win for Best Actor in this biopic of the great George M. Cohan.
- THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) This is the film that skyrocketed Cagney to fame, and sealed his legacy as one of the greatest film gangsters of all time. Tom Powers (Cagney) and his childhood friend Matt Doyle (Edward Woods) begin their lives of crime as petty crooks in the early 1900s.
- ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES (1938) Growing up in a rough neighborhood, childhood friends Rocky (Cagney) and Jerry (Pat O’Brien) commit petty crimes; Rocky is eventually caught while Jerry gets away.
