Port of New York (1949)

 Second viewing; previously viewed on January 18, 1989

(*spoilers*) An agent from the Narcotics Bureau and another from the Customs Police join efforts to catch the head of a drug smuggling gang. Some legal shipment of narcotics disappears from a ship. A woman who had been a passenger on that ship and was an accomplice to the smugglers wants out. The police stakes out a locker in a railway station and finds the buyer. It's a nightclub comic. The two agents raid the bandits' storehouse one night, and one of them gets killed. The other one impersonates a drug buyer to get to the head of the gang.

Violent criminal documentary-style drama. Mildly entertaining.

Rating: 47 (unchanged)
