    Terrific B movie thriller

    Mickey Rooney generally not one of my fave actors is utterly riveting as the cocky, vicious corrupt union boss. Great storyline a film where you don't even want to blink & miss what the hell's gonna happen next. Tho in a non speaking role Ray Danton is chilling as a hitman he leaves you in no doubt he's a psycho that kills for kicks. The following year he played the title role in the excellent Rise & Fall of Legs Diamond & was superb in that. A very underrated movie well worth seeing.

    The little big shot

    This violent gangster thriller shows how fast pacing can succeed in building tension despite several implausibilities in plotting and characterization. Mickey Rooney shows he could play a thoroughly nasty individual, but his Joe Braun comes over as little more than a caricature. Several incidents strain credibility, not least when one man is seen going up in flames, and is presumably killed, only to emerge later wearing a few strips of sticking plaster but otherwise OK. Despite these faults, the film remains eminently watchable. Steve Cochran gives one of the better performances as the hero.

    The half-brother of On the Waterfront

    This a fabulous film .

    A brutal ,dark depiction of Mob graft in the 1950s it has a career best performance from Mickey Rooney , as a horrific and nasty union boss ( yes really ) and excellent support from Steve Cochran and Mamie van Doren.

    The opening scene has Charlie Chaplin Jrs character thrown in the back of a mixing cement truck and the portrayal of mob violence doesn't hold back .

    Ray Danton as the main crim is so cool he could be in Blue Rondo A La Turk and the soundtrack by Van Alexander is terrific .

    This is the darker half-brother of On the Waterfront but should be far better known.

    Fantastic cast and story.

    Rooney in his best dramatic role. Mickey is a crooked union boss who will stop at nothing to get his way. The nonstop action includes strong arm union goons beating Mel Torme, then setting him on fire and dumping him on Mamie Van Dorens tree lawn. Fortunately the fire is put out in time, enabling him to lead the police to the bad guys hideout. I won't give the ending away, except to say there's plenty of bagpipe music. Must see to believe!!!

    Rather obscure low budget film with some unexpected casting

    Modestly budgeted but surprisingly entertaining crime drama, with Mickey Rooney as a Jimmy Hoffa-style union boss ready to resort to gangland methods when a couple of honest union men see him in the company of a known gangster the night that a witness against Rooney in an upcoming crime investigation goes missing.

    This film has a nice jazzy musical score, and some unexpected casting. Rooney is effective with an in-your-face performance as the ruthless union president. But equally effective, and a nice change of pace casting for him, too, is Steve Cochran, normally a screen tough guy, here playing a soft spoken decent family man who crosses paths with Rooney. Ray Danton is a cold blooded hood working for the union boss who not only throws someone into a cement mixer but sets another person on fire after dumping him out of a car.

    Vampira, pretty much unrecognizable without her Vampira makeup, is a woman running a beatnik club, Mel Torme plays Cochran's fiery natured friend (Mel's not bad), and, the most unusual casting of all is, ready for this, Mamie Van Doren in a subdued performance as Cochran's homemaker wife. She still looks like bleached blonde Mamie, of course, but she's not half bad. Mamie as Donna Reed? See it to believe it.

    The film has a protracted sequence is which Cochran, who is ready to give testimony against Rooney, is kidnapped and Rooney has goons working him over (Leo Gordon being one of them, yikes!) to try to get him to change his testimony. When Cochran refuses to cooperate, Rooney then resorts to nastier means to get his way.

      Little Joe Braun: I wanna think you men for the warm reception you just gave me. Especially the guys that booed. It's good to know there are a couple of honest men in the room anyway. I'm here to tell you guys that there's a circus coming here tomorrow. There's some phony politicians coming to town on a union-busting expedition. They're gonna ask me if I shot my grandmother. Yeah, I shot her! They're also gonna ask me who paid for my yacht. Well I don't own a yacht, I got news for you. I got two yachts - a front yacht and a back yacht! Now maybe it's just a coincidence that this Senate Committee is coming here while we're trying to negotiate with the employers. And if the employers wanna know what kind of deal we're gonna make with the Toolworks, I'll tell 'em. We're gonna give 'em the works!
