THE MOB (1951). A Police Detective screws up in the line of duty and goes undercover as a Dock worker to discovers who is running the crime syndicate in NYC area. Broderick Crawfod is pretty good as the honest yet jocular flatfoot who has to stay on his toes ; but he does get some good zingers out...lots of hard boiled dialogue here. Also a pretty good cast of many actors in the early parts of their careers....Ernest Borgnine, Richard Kiley (his first film, I believe), John Marley (although He has the dark hair, He still talks like Mr Wolz from THE GODFATHER), Neville Brand and a very young and even then craggy Charles Bronson. ***
