I believe that was "White Heat" starring James Cagney as psychopathic gangster "Cody Jarrett." He was completely convincing.

He delivered that "top of the world, Ma" line just before being blown into the next world by the exploding bulk gasoline tank from which he was shooting at the police.

The film was made just four years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and some have conjectured that that scene intentionally evoked audience anxieties about the dawn of nuclear war.

See also: Cagney in "Angels with Dirty Faces".
