A follow up to The House on 92nd Street, apparently, in which a true FBI case is depicted faithfully and in as many of the real locations as possible. Thus we have some very good on location photography from Joe MacDonald, much in inky chiaroscuro, but also some rather clunky voiceover. 'Center City' is mainly LA.
Mark Stevens goes undercover to infiltrate Richard Widmark's gang of killers, uncovers an inside man on the force, but is rumbled. Fortunately his No. 2 John McIntyre (Winchester '73, Rooster Cogburn) is hot on the trail. Donald Buka makes impression as tough hood. With Lloyd Nolan, Barbara Lawrence, Joseph Pevney (girl obsessed hood), Howard Smith.
