Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })White Heat is a classic 1949 Warner Bros. Film Noir, directed by Raoul Walsh and starring James Cagney in one of his most acclaimed performances.Cagney is Cody Jarrett, the violent and emotionally unstable gang leader who still has a soft spot for his Ma (Margaret Wycherly). After pulling off a train heist, he gets arrested and convicted for a robbery he didn't commit (as part of an alibi he'd previously arranged). Waiting in prison until the heat is off, he's worried about Big Ed (Steve Cochran), his second-in-command, taking control of his gang and his unfaithful wife Verna (Virginia Mayo). When he hears Ed has killed his mom, an enraged Cody busts out, determined to rub out Ed and regain control of the gang.What he doesn't know, though, is that a trusted fellow con (Edmond O'Brien) who escaped with him is really an undercover cop. It all comes to a spectacular finish during another heist, where Cody makes it to the top of the world...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ax-Crazy: Cody. Cagney had played tough guys and bad guys throughout The '30s, but the violently unhinged Cody Jarrett was a new wrinkle for him. | |

| White Heat / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Cody develops one for "Vic", all the way to the point of being willing to share the loot fifty-fity with him. In fact, "Vic" seems to be taking the place of Cody's beloved mother in Cody's heart. | |

Better to Die than Be Killed | |
| White Heat / int_99298c71 | comment |
Better to Die than Be Killed: Cody ultimately chooses to uncork the gas tanks at a chemical plant, shoot them, and go out in a (literal) blaze of glory rather than be taken down by the cops. It's particularly effective since he completes this plan after being shot already. | |
