[as the film starts, a man can be seen sitting at a desk. This is John Cameron Swayze.]
John Cameron Swayze, On-Screen Commentator: Ladies and gentlemen, how do you do? This is John Cameron Swayze, and this has been a day of comparative quiet on the international scene. Of considerable importance, however, is the news within our own borders. Now, this news can have a far reaching and lasting effect on every human being in the United States, as well, as on those free countries of the world, that depend upon us for their safety and well being. This bulletin has reached this desk from Detroit, Michigan, a city conceded to be the arsenal of America. Now, gangsters of organized crime are making a strong bid to gain control of the labor unions, so that they can rule the destinies of some 17 million union workers. But, for the courage of honest union officials, the police, and a political regime of integrity, the crime elements would already be in control in Detroit. The film you are about to see, Inside Detroit, shows what has been done, and what can be done by men of faith and fortitude to combat this menace.

Crooked Unions? Who'd've Thought It

John Cameron Swayze does the intro and outro to this movie, without mentioning Camel cigarettes or Timex watches. Racketeer Pat O'Brien gets out of jail and goes to work to win the next UAW local election, part of "the Syndicate's" plans to take over the unions. Dennis O'Keefe is the honest union official flailing around to keep control. Mark Damon is O'Brien's son, and Tina Carver is the girl who's been running the rackets and making a play for Damon. The police are baffled.

It's a grand cast for a Sam Katz movie, and it's directed by the indefatigable Fred Sears. He had come to Hollywood after the War. By 1958, the year he died at 44 of a heart attack, he had appeared in seventy-five movies and directed 50. With a schedule like that, it's no wonder his bosses loved him; he didn't have time to come in over schedule or budget.

Even so, there's more to this movie that a tawdry story and good actors. Director of Photography Henry Freulich gets some nice point-of-view shots of a fight taking place on exposed girders. Everyone helps makes this, if not a great movie, at least a good one.
