when i was a child in the 50s i saw this at the movies with my parents.
Why is the title in cap letters???
Very small potatoes when it comes the The Clinton Foundation and all the criminals involved with it. More then likely nobody will hang that's how it is now in 2016.
On the other hand I liked this movie showing how the law is supposed to work.

Awesome Picture. Thank You.
I think someone by the name of Rahm Emanuel runs the Chicago Branch Office now and Obama is the handle of the big Boss now.
Chicago is a living Hell now far worse than it ever was when the "Mob" ran things. The gangs run the asylum and Emanuel and the Clinton-fella's and the MLK 's have Obama on the top, or the bottom of the deck all the time. Great Sports Franchise's but please, I don't think anything good has come out of Chicago since the Old Bob Newhart left town. 🙂
GO HAWKS…. and Da' BEARS….. Oh yah and the Sox…..
Mini cars with no rear windshields and shotgun and Tommy guns blazing up the streets every damn night of the year. GREAT JOB There Rahm. He is probably a Wing Commander for that other little nasty crew known as ISIS? Like tough and Big Shoulders are one thing, but rampant, heinous crime 24/7 now a complete way of life for the inmates of CHICAGO?
Great movie and a quality upload. Thanks for posting!
awesome movie
This is how all secret organizations are run legitimate and illegal alike.
Abbe Lane plays her real life role here, as a Jewish whore-singer.
Good film really enjoyed
26:10 The Prudential skyscraper (1955) is clearly under construction across Grant Park. This marked the first major downtown high rise since the Field Building (1934), the Great Depression & 2nd World War having interrupted the growth in Chicago's skyline.
Now we have the government syndicate. 4,307 shooting victims 1-1-16. Where is the community organizer.
A good one – thanks
OMG Abbe lane is GORGEOUS in this… that Xavier Kugat was a REALLY lucky guy, lemme tell ya
what a load of malarkie !
O'Keefe always delivers, great film and cast, Ms' Lane and Hayes YIPES!
Thanks for posting this gem.
Great to see an old school detective story. Loved the Detroit iron and the fashions. Thank you so much.
at (10:00) …. 12 years to make $ 60 000 = $5000/year … or ca $500/month …
looks like too much in 1955 …. a $50/m looks more accurate, right ??
( 10:00) ….. in 1955, it takes "12 years for an employee to make $ 60 000" ….that's $ 400 /m … seems to me too much. or perhaps just #$40 ??
a nice film. thanks for the upload ………………………
I always liked Dennis O'Keefe. He could play tough guy and was great at comedy. Good looking too.
lets not talk politics
@41:57 …and then Connie left all shitty with the band leader and Xavier CuGATSOME!
