Hoodlum Empire (1952)

Hoodlum Empire poster

Crime / 98 min / APPROVED

It's a deadly play for power when a Mafia chieftain's top gun goes straight and threatens to testify against the big boss and his cruel, nationwide network of crime. The picture, which was shot in a semi-documentary style, was inspired by the Kefauver investigations of 1950-51.

Director: Joseph Kane
