The Street With No Name (1948)


A covert FBI agent infiltrates a ruthless gangster mob, but his life is is at risk from a mysterious informant that funnels inside information to the hoodlums.

What begins like a FBI  commercial turns into a bona fide Noir thriller with good performances and excellent photography.

Halliwell *: "The oldest crime plot in the world, applied with vigour to the documentary realism of The House on 92nd Street and built around the Kiss of Death psychopathic character created by Richard Widmark."
