Back on the street five years after a rigged manslaughter rap cost him his badge as well as his freedom, ex-San Francisco cop Steve Rollins (Alan Ladd) headed for the docks for a lead on the proof he needed to clear his name. Unfortunately, the waterfront was still the dominion of racketeer Vic Amato (Edward G. Robinson)...and he’s prepared to close Rollins’ case permanently. Long-sought noir opus co-stars Joanne Dru, William Demarest, Fay Wray; keep an eye out for Rod Taylor, Jayne Mansfield. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
