Overview

After two gang-related killings in “Center City,” a suspect (who was framed) is arrested, released on bail…and murdered. Inspector Briggs of the FBI recruits a young agent, Gene Cordell, to go undercover in the shadowy Skid Row area (alias George Manly) as a potential victim of the same racket.

Viewing Notes

Need this to make up for the last one. Not as great as I expected but still decent. I love how Richard Widmark can be a bad guy here yet a real good guy in Panic in the Streets and be totally believable in both cases.
