AKA The Brass Ring.
"Now I remember...I remember good."
Mobster Phil Regal (Anthony Quinn) is very protective of his little sister Roselle (Anne Bancroft), so when she gets pregnant to Nick Branda (Farley Granger) he decides that Nick is going to pop the question. Unfortunately Nick is caught bang to rights having killed a shopkeeper in a robbery. This is not a problem to Phil and he fixes the witnesses and gets Nick off. To start things go right for the couple, but then Rosie miscarries, and Phil blames Nick. Thus starting a sequence of events that threatens to topple Phil. All related by Joe McFarland (Peter Graves) a dogged reporter on Phil's trail.
Gritty crime drama with some morals thrown in. Rather standard run through, but nice to see a young Bancroft, Quinn and Granger earning their chops.
