    fine crime noir

    In San Francisco, bookie Dan Gannin (George Raft) quits the racket and opens a nightclub. He offers his pal Hal Towers (Harry Morgan) a piece of the club to get out as well but Hal turns him down. Then thugs murder Hal by throwing him down a flight of stairs. Dan goes searching for the killers.

    The stairs may be the best part of the movie especially when the thugs take Dan back to the place where they killed his friend. It's the best scene. I hoped for more San Francisco street scenes. Those street scenes have a vibrancy that is missing from much of the movie. Raft does a workmanlike job but he doesn't shine like a movie star. The story doesn't pop with the exception of certain scenes. All in all, it's a functional crime noir thriller.

    'What we're offering is a...personal protection policy...'

    George Raft plays Gannin, a bookie who is, despite this, basically an honest guy. His pal, Hal (Harry Morgan) approaches him to say that some mobsters want in on his own bookmaking business. Well, these creeps turn out to mean business and when Hal refuses to cooperate, they murder him in a very vivid and brutal scene (one of the best in the film). Naturally, Gannin isn't happy but things are about to get rough for him as well, as the mobsters soon approach him as well. Now he could work with the detective (William Bendix) to expose these rats but, naturally, Gannin only likes to handle things alone. Does he possibly stand a chance?! Well, since it's George Raft, you certainly assume so!

    This film turned out to be a lot better than I expected. No, George Raft was just as stiff and unbelievable as he usually was in films. However, the plot offered some nice twists and kept me guessing. Plus the ending came as a HUGE surprise to me! Well worth seeing...almost deserving an 8...but not quite making it due to Raft's very ordinary sort of performance.

    Ironically, later Harry Morgan would play Bill Gannon on "Dragnet"...the show that helped make him a household name.

    Race Street

    This is a superior crime noir let down by a most nondescript title! Harry Morgan ("Hal") is found at the bottom of a flight of stairs - George Raft ("Gannin") and detective "Barney" (William Bendix) know his death is a bit fishy, and decide to investigate (separately!). Soon it transpires that the former is involved in dodgy bookmaking, as was the deceased, and that someone is trying to muscle in on their business. Raft is good as he tries to avenge his dead friend, never quite sure to trust, as are femme fatale Marilyn Maxwell as "Robbie" and Gale Robbins as his sister "Elaine" who sings a couple of quite decent numbers too. It's quite a tense short feature with plenty of darkly lit scenes and a tight dialogue to keep the suspense going until, I have to say, a rather silly ending. Well worth a watch, though.

    Doing It for a Pal

    Noted San Francisco bookie and club owner George Raft is being muscled by the syndicate. He shrugs it off until pal Harry Morgan is thrown down a flight of stairs and killed. After that Raft is hot for revenge.

    Though this film was produced by RKO it has a Paramount look to it because of the presence of William Bendix as a police lieutenant and Frank Faylen as the syndicate's man in San Francisco.

    Raft gets a lot of good advice from Bendix in the film, most of which he ignores. Raft also has some very treacherous associates as the viewer will find out.

    George Raft films are always art imitating life when they are about gangsters. Except for horror film stars like Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, I doubt there was ever a major star whose own life so closely got involved in the roles he played.

    Raft was hardly a great actor, but in gangster films he knew the mob literally from the inside out so it was never acting.

    Bill Bendix of course is always good, films with him in it should be seen if for no other reason than to watch him.

    Race Street is an average noir film which I'm sure entertained the audiences who came to see whatever A picture was playing with it.

    Yawn Street

    From 1948, Race Street, starring George Raft and directed by Edwin L. Marin.

    Slower moving than an iceberg with two tuneless musical numbers to boot.

    Raft plays bookie Dan Gannin, who is leaving the racket and has opened his own nightclub featuring his sister (Gale Robbins). When his buddy (Harry Morgan) is killed after refusing mob protection, Dan goes after the killers. This doesn't sit well with Runson (William Bendix) a cop and friend, who feels Dan is putting himself in danger.

    Race Street has no zip, no pace, and the plot just meanders along. It seemed as if the same scenes were repeated over and over - Runson asking Dan if he had any info, Gannin's friends discussing the problem, Gannin being threatened.

    Marilyn Maxwell as a brunette is Gannin's girlfriend. Charles Lane, who died at 102, is a switchboard operator - his last credit was in 1995 after a 65-year career. Jason Robards Sr. Is uncredited as a hotel clerk. Frank Faylen plays a bad guy.

    You can skip this.

      The opening scene shows Dan Gannin crossing Post Street and entering Hal Tower's men's store. This was in the Fitzhugh Building, a 10-story "Italian Palazzo"-style building built in 1923 for medical offices. It was a registered national landmark, but though over 50,000 signatures were gathered to save it, it was torn down in 1980 for the new Saks Fifth Avenue store.

      When the 2 hoods grab Hal (Harry Morgan) at his front door, the hood who took his gun has a semi-auto in his hand. In the next scene, different angle, he has a revolver in has hand. When it switches back to the original angle, he again has the semi-auto pistol in his hand.

      Elaine Gannin: What about Robbie? What about me?

      Gannin: I love you both. Stop crying. I'll take you back to town. Sis, you go and get the car and I'll be with you in a few minutes.
