    The tentacles of crime.

    The Kefauver committee's hearings into organised crime had millions of Americans glued to their TV screens and naturally Hollywood was quick to pounce. Of the film noirs inspired by the hearings the most accomplished is arguably this one directed by one of cinema's great stylists William Dieterle and featuring strong performances from a cast that can only be described as top notch.

    Edmond O'Brien as moral crusader Conroy is dedicated but never self-righteous whilst William Holden's McKibbon is one of his cynical roles from this period. Alexis Smith as Amanda is required to be earnest and this she does very well. Ed Begley is spot on as an utterly loathsome crime boss supposedly based on the equally loathsome Frank Costello and as there is no show without Punch his sidekick is played by the ubiquitous Ted de Corsia. Carolyn Jones makes a delicious debut in a brief appearance as a gangster's moll.

    Mention must be made of the expertise behind the camera, notably Lionel Lindon's cinematography, the literate script for which Warren Duff is credited but which shows the influence of the legendary but uncredited W. R. Burnett and not least the superlative editing by George Tomasini whose contribution to the films of Hitchcock was to prove immeasurable and whose editing here of the climactic scene at the boxing match typifies his skills. Apart fom 'stock' music at the start and conclusion, it is the sounds of the city that provide the soundtrack throughout.

    Dieterle had begun as an actor in German silent films and adapted brilliantly to the Hollywood system but sadly, although he was never officially charged, the HUAC made life difficult for him and he was soon to find worthy directorial assignments elusive.

    The film itself offers a grim reminder that even though the occasional battle against organised crime may be won, the war is ultimately lost. It is akin to the mythological Hydra and whenever one of its many heads is cut off, another grows in its place.

    The Turning Point is a pretty good crime drama

    William Holden is Jerry McKibbon, a reporter who's trying to help his pal Edmond O'Brien as district attorney John Conroy and his girl Alexis Smith as Amanda Waycross expose the big city gangster Ed Begley as Neil Eichelberger with some help from O'Brien's cop father, Tom Tully as Matt Conroy. I'll stop there and just say this was quite a thrilling crime drama though compared to others from the period, also perhaps a little subdued. Still, a suspenseful atmosphere permeates throughout especially when a boxing match where someone tries to kill provides the exciting climax. No big music score is provided but there are some good sequences when the story doesn't take the time for some romance between either of the male leads and Ms. Smith which aren't really needed. So on that note, The Turning Point is well worth the time.

    crime commissioner's girlfriend falls for muckraking reporter

    A nicely assembled rather complex story about small time corruption in an anonymous midwestern city that effectively balances its mix of plot elements into a plausible and interesting whole. Edmond O'Brien plays an idealistic lawyer who heads an investigation that leads him into his own family. William Holden plays an investigative reporter and childhood pal of O'Brien's, a likely and believable role for him, a born cynic on screen if there ever was one, who not only gets to the center of the corruption plague but also attracts the attentions of Alexis Smith, O'Brien's girlfriend and secretary. Directed by William Dieterle, the film should be pulled apart by its competing angles, but isn't, holding together nicely while it fits in the increasingly deadly corruption headed by an always convincing Ed Begley, and showing a sympathetic and at times pathetic O'Brien whose life seems to unravel around him as the film reaches its various points, leading to a tight and exciting conclusion with Neville Brand playing a out of town killer in a crowded boxing arena.

    A Crime Syndicate With Deep Hooks

    The Kefauver crime hearings in the US Senate were the inspiration for several films of which The Turning Point is one. It's neither the best or the worst of that group.

    Idealistic young attorney Edmond O'Brien is put in charge of a local Kefauver like group with prosecutorial powers to go after the syndicate that operates in this unnamed midwest American city. He's the son of veteran police detective Tom Tully and he asks his father to help him in his investigation. Also helping out are Alexis Smith functioning as the commission secretary and a cynical William Holden who is a long time friend of O'Brien's and newspaper reporter.

    The syndicate is headed by Ed Begley, his number two is his enforcer Ted DeCorsia and he's got a hotheaded torpedo on the payroll in Danny Dayton. This crime syndicate has its hooks in pretty deep and watching the film you see why they are always one step ahead of the investigating commission.

    The Turning Point fits right in with Bill Holden's post Sunset Boulevard tough and cynical image. That would reach its apogee when next year Holden would win an Oscar for the ultimate cynic in Stalag 17.

    The rest of the cast performs well in roles that fit them admirably. Some you will remember are Neville Brand as an out of town torpedo who has few words, but an aura of menace, Carolyn Jones in her film debut as a Virginia Hill type witness who performs on stand the way Judy Holliday did in the House Un-American Activities Committee as the dumb moll. But the performance that really stands out is that of Adele Longmire who is the wife of another torpedo who was doublecrossed and killed after a hit he performed. She is really a standout in her scenes as a frightened witness trying to flee the mob.

    The Turning Point is a good noir drama that holds up very well today and is even relevant with some of the big name prosecutions of more recent vintage.

    Good Dialogue: The Turning Point

    If you like your noir realistic, then this film is for you. The twist ending will also provide a surprise for some, although it is generally a Hollywood formula that when two good guys are interested in the same girl, one of them usually gets knocked off. William Holden, Edmund O'Brien, Neville Brand (TV Untouchables), and Carolyn Jones all give outstanding performances. A reporter and cop love the same woman and the mob is after both men. Great dialogue; especially the line where the top hood says (paraphrasing) "your college degree didnt make you better or smarter than the rest of us in the real world".

      Amanda Waycross: Isn't it a tragic thing if the people all over this nation can be told that a man like Eichelberger can tear a man like you apart with his dirty fingers. What are we coming to Johnny, when a man like that can do this to all of us?
