Trivia
When Phil and Rosalie are talking on the roof of their building, there is a billboard for Frankel. Max Frankel is the Art Director for for the film. The sign says Frankel and Black. Ralph E. Black was the Production Manager.

Goofs
When the corpse surfaces on the lake, it appears feet first. In reality, the torso would rise first, because it is full of gases that make bodies float. The legs are only muscle, bone and connective tissues, with no way to produce or retain gases that would encourage floating. However, as noted in the narration, there was a slot machine chained to the body. A slot machine chained around the neck or shoulders would allow the corpse's feet to break the water's surface.

Quotes
[first lines]
Joe McFarland: [voice over as the scene shifts from the front of the newspaper office to him typing at his office desk] This story is true. I oughta know. I not only covered it for my newspaper, I became a part of it. You read about Phil Regal in the papers - "Enforcer for the Underworld" they called him, but the real inside story was never told before. No one could possibly tell it until now... and stay alive. It started one dismal night under a bridge in a lonely stretch of Brooklyn...

Anthony Quinn Film

Enjoyed this film from the 1950's with Anthony Quinn playing the role as Phil Regal, mobster in a section of New York City. Nicky Bradna, (Farley Granger) was a young guy trying to go straight after getting out of prison and his girl friend is Rosalie Regalzyk, (Anne Bancroft. Rosalie just so happens to be the sister to Phil and so he managed to get Nicky out of jail. There is a horrible event which happens to Nicky and Rosalie Bradna, and Nick goes wild and gets himself deep into the world of crime which takes the entire film in a different direction. Anthony Quinn put his heart and soul into this role as being a mean and cruel and hateful mobster. If you like Anthony Quinn, don't miss this film, you will greatly enjoy viewing it.
