Viewing Notes

A good, fast paced gangster film where the “syndicate” is now run like a corporation with board meetings and company “rules”.

Richard Conte is a smooth hit man and sort of like a younger version of Barzini. Broderick Crawford is amusing, barking out his dialogue at 100 mph. Also starring a 24-year-old Anne Bancroft.
