Wiki: Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) is the ruthless, deranged leader of a criminal gang. Although married to Verna (Virginia Mayo), Jarrett is overly attached to his equally crooked and determined mother, ‘Ma’ Jarrett (Margaret Wycherly), his only real confidante.
When he has one of his splitting headaches, she consoles him, sits him
on her lap and gives him a whiskey with the toast, "Top of the world."
It is revealed that Jarrett’s father died in an insane asylum.
