The speeding music returns as the camera cuts back to the criminals, who pull into a drive-in to hide from Ernie; showing at the drive-in is another Warner Brothers picture, South of St. Louis, which was released on March 6, 1949 (and which Steiner also scored); the double feature on the sign, Siren of Atlantis, is not a Warner Brothers picture, and is therefore partically obscured by a street sign in the camera set-up; the movie footage that we see on the drive-in screen is a plane battle from the war film Task Force (which was premiered just a few days before White Heat was released, but which was not distributed widely until September 30 ... so the characters in this film could not have seen it!) |
