Port of New York
A gangster / film noir sponsored by the United States Treasury Board. Directed by Laslo Benedek. Starring Scott Brady, Richard Rober, KT Stevens and Yul Brynner, who once upon a time DID have hair, as this film illustrates. The story is essentially a drug deal gone awry, with various branches of the US Treasury Board cracking the case. And if you couldn't have guessed, yes, Yul Brynner is the accent-afflicted, receeding shock-black haired villian. NOTE: there are three reels to this film, labelled A, B & C.
