Port of New York (1949)


Two narcotics agents go after a gang of murderous drug dealers who use ships docking at the New York harbor to smuggle in their contraband.

Lively, fast-paced crime thriller in the semidocumentary style common in the 40/50s; well-made and worth the watch for a competent Yul Brynner starring as a villain in his cinema debut.

Halliwell*: "Good routine semi-documentary thick-ear, notable for an early appearance by Yul Brynner as villain-in-chief."

Maltin**: "Gloomy tale..."
