When tough-talking tenement teen Chuck Brennan falls in love with a beautiful and intelligent girl who spends most of her time taking care of her ailing mother. He takes a job as an assistant to powerful gangster Blackie Davis to help make her life a little better. But the deeper Chuck sinks into the dizzying world of crime, the closer he gets to mortal danger. First off, I�m going to say that the dialogue was hard to understand. Besides that, the movie, for the most part, was enjoyable, if mediocre. I tend not to like pre-1970s films, but this one actually wasn�t that bad. The acting was actually pretty good for an old movie, but the writing could have been better. The reason for this mainly is that I never understood the final scene. As far as the directing went, I would say that it was pretty decent; it might not have been great, but it wasn�t horrible either. Basically, the film was better than I expected given its age.
