New York Confidential (1955)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Russell Rouse
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Broderick Crawford is the head of the syndicate in NYC. Richard Conte is the cool-as-ice hit man who comes from Chicago to work for him. When a deal worth billions of dollars unravels a hit is ordered which threatens to bring down the whole system. Conte must choose between his loyalty to the man or the organization. A subplot with Anne Bancroft as Crawford's confused daughter doesn't work quite as well.
