Enforcer, Enforcer, Blu-Ray

Humphrey Bogart (THE MALTESE FALCON) is in fine form as a crusading District Attorney out to convict the head of a vicious murder-for-hire ring. But when his star witness is killed, Bogart must race against time to find the evidence he needs to bring down the mob boss. Told in a series of flashbacks, this tense, tough-as-nails crime thriller on the cutting edge of film noir was based on actual Murder, Inc. Trials. Stylishly directed by Bretagne Windust (JUNE BRIDE) with un-credited help from Raoul Walsh (PURSUED) and beautifully shot by the great Robert Burks (NORTH BY NORTHWEST). The stellar cast includes Zero Mostel, Ted de Corsia and Everett Sloane.
