White Heat (1949) was a gangster film directed by Raoul Walsh and starred James Cagney, Virginia Mayo, Edmond O'Brien, and Margaret Wycherly. A psychopathic criminal (Cagney) with an unhealthy Mother-fixation (Wycherly) stages a prison break and reunites the old gang.
The following firearms can be seen in the film White Heat:
Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) primarily uses a Colt Detective Special before prison and after prison (when one is smuggled to him by Tommy Ryley (Robert Osterloh)). "Big Ed" Somers (Steve Cochran) also uses a Detective Special during the opening train robbery and when he is waiting for Cody after his prison breakout. Hank Fallon/"Vic Pardo" (Edmond O'Brien) also briefly uses one.
The accountant guard at the chemical plant payroll office carries a Winchester Model 1897, which Hank Fallon (Edmond O'Brien) uses to try and round up the gang. Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) then takes it from him, using it until he runs out of shells. Some of the LAPD officers also carry Model '97s.
