Trailer 67 of 695
Raoul Walsh's most muscular gangster pic with an all-time great James Cagney as Cody Jarrett, the psychotic killer that only a mother could love. She's the underappreciated Margaret Wycherly, brilliant as the most monstrous mom since Agrippina. But she doesn't get much attention in the trailer.
"If you like telepathic Pterodactyls this one's for you!" How can one resist a commentary like that? LOL.
Can't say I actually "like" this movie but I can tolerate it. It makes as much sense as many non-drug-related films that go a bit off the rails for purely "artistic" reasons, so simply pegging it as a "drug movie" only of interest in its time is inaccurate...

The one original touch: a caveman monster with veins that go ACROSS his nostrils (look fast and you can see him in the trailer). Umm, other than that...
I have a great fondness for this daft film. I remember running around my grandad's garden with a hankerchief I found tied around my hand because I saw Doug McClure do it in either this or another Conner film promting my grandad to ask of I'd hurt myself...
"Phoned it in so intensely, you can almost hear the dial tones" That line is better than anything in this film..
