Slaughter on Tenth Avenue (1957)

Based on a true story.

A waterfront union leader suffers an attempt against his life; he names the shooters to his wife. He later denies what he said. A perseverant D.A. tries to convince him to speak so that he can build a case against a corrupt union boss.

Not without interest but the dramatization is often stereotypical and the plot is not exactly exciting.

Rating: 48
