The still-undervalued director Raoul Walsh painted lean, mean portraits of gangsters, with a knack for evoking gritty urban locales and capturing raw white-knuckle action. His films provide a virtual template for modern-day maestro (and avowed Walsh admirer) Martin Scorsese. Viewed side by side, the work of these two men reveal an extraordinary "spot-the-influence" dialogue across the generations.
Featured Works:
Directed by Raoul Walsh: Regeneration (1915), Gentleman Jim (1942), White Heat (1949), The Man I Love (1946), The Roaring Twenties (1939), The Bowery (1933).
