Thanks.

I forgot to check back at this site, and I can't make that Email arrangement work since I switched carriers. But here goes.

 

Labor strife on the docks. Crooked union officials. A murder. Late 50s issue.

EDGE OF THE CITY?

[cmvgor]

Not *Edge Of The City*

The victim did not die immediately. He named his killers to his wife, but did not rat them out to the cops. There is a cultural thing about handling things internally, even leaving that task to his allies. -- but don't talk to outsiders about insiders' business.

[cmvgor]

The straight-arrow prosecuter is an outsider to this waterfront culture, and must rely on the savy work of a better-informed cop. The officer is more knowledgable, but he, too, is an outsider. The cop is played by one of the stalwart film-noir names.

[cmvgor]

In the other part of his life, the prosecuter is preparing to get married. A well-wisher card arrives that contains a veiled threat. This in line with threats that are passing between factions of the union.

*Slaughter on 10th Avenue* ? (1957)

[cmvgor]

Correct, Lavender. There was some effort, it seems, drum up the same enthusiasm generated by *On the Waterfront* some three years earlier. Good story in itself, just didn't draw the same audiences.

 

Lavender's thread.

The thread is open

Some moviegoers complained they didn't see Brando in the film. What's the title of the movie ?

TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON?

[mudskipper]

Correct...Brando as a Japanese...I guess a l;ot of people didn't recognize him through his make up...Your thread, Fi.♠

[DownGoesFrazier]

Pair of con artists (a man and woman) convince a young woman to join them in conning millionaires.

It's wartime and a mans best friend has just been killed. He has the opportunity to either wound or kill the enemy. He lets him go instead.
