There have been many films that have attempted to dramatize gangsterism and its existence within urban America. Works such as The Godfather, Goodfellas, Once Upon A Time In America, and Angels With Dirty Faces have been critically acclaimed for achieving realistic glimpses inside the realm of crime. The Street With No Name should rightfully grasp its site alongside the aforementioned masterpieces as a pivotal film that absorbs the viewer into a criminal landscape etched with- corruption, unconscious alienation, and violent power. Aptly titled, no loyal street or city is identified by name, since the gritty texture of this film implies that any of the growing metropolises that dot America can claim “Center City” as its home. Pool halls, seedy motels, slow night arcades, and dank diners blend into an atmospheric montage of criminal haze. Interior shots are brilliantly framed in noir style lighting. Rooms themselves seem cross as tables, chairs, windows, and walls, become parts to an ignominious whole. Director William Keighley taking a cue from the documentary style success of House on 92nd Street (best screenplay 1945) incorporates a similar sage touch. As in House on 92nd Street, J Edgar Hoover allows Keighley burly access to film scenes at FBI headquarters and at the Bureau’s training center. The scenes are authenticated by sincere FBI personnel operating the latest equipment ragged in criminal investigations. The dialogue and acting is though-provoking. Martin Scorcese would be impressed with the seemingly off the cuff lines and mannerisms that the racketeering characters show. Designate Stevens is believable as the undercover FBI agent who penetrates the inner circle of an organized street gang. Lloyd Nolan is again cast as the straitlaced FBI inspector who symbolizes Hoover’s insistence on vigilance and patriotism. But it is Richard Widmark who steals this relate with a riveting performance as a paranoid gang leader with a vindictive mean journey. Critics claim that Widmark’s veil debut as gangster Tommy Udo in Kiss of Death (1947) was his most memorable performance but I disagree. Even though Widmark was nominated for an Oscar in Kiss of Death, his performance is marked by scripted toughness. When watching Widmark’s Udo character today he seems unconvincing and severly concocted. In The Street With No Name, Widmark’s character Alec Stiles is notoriously suitable. Stile’s dress, talk, mannerisms, and insecurities are subtle and readily acceptable as fragment of a gangster’s profile. Cagney, Raft, and Bogart may have garnered the eternal gangster spotlight, but Widmark’s hood Alec Stiles stands as the most memorable.
Apparently after WWII, there was an alarming increase in `gangsterism’, a term which I wasn’t familiar with until I watched the film The Street with No Name (1948) . Surprisingly (to me, at least) it is an steady word (according to my online dictionary), so if you’re playing Scrabble and you have the just combination of letters, throw it down and fetch yourself some beaucoup points…written by Harry Kleiner (Fallen Angel, The Violent Men, House of Bamboo) and directed by William Keighley (’G’ Men, Bullets or Ballots, The Adventures of Robin Hood), the film stars Designate Stevens (Unbiased, Burma!, The Dim Corner) and Richard Widmark (Horror in the Streets, Pickup on South Street) in his second feature, following his memorable performance as the tough mug Tommy Udo in the Victor Ancient vehicle Kiss of Death (1947) . Also appearing is Lloyd Nolan (The House on 92nd Street), Barbara Lawrence (Oklahoma!), Ed Begley (12 Excited Men), John McIntire (Call Northside 777, Turner & Hooch), and Donald Buka (Stolen Identity), as the tough guy character Shivvy (in case it wasn’t apparent by his name, he’s handy with a blade, or `shiv’ in gangsterism lingo) . An enthralling fact, `Shivvy’ was also an current name for one of the unusual seven dwarfs, but was changed as test audiences didn’t retort well to a knife wielding dwarf…go figure.

As the film begins we learn through a message hot off the wire from J. Edgar Hoover himself that gangsterism is running rampant, and if things end the course, three out of every four Americans will, at some point, become victims of organized criminal activity. That’s hardly news to the residents of Center City, as gangs have been pulling of some fearless capers, resulting in a few deaths. In an distress to stem the tide of the unlawful, Special Agent Eugene Cordell is recruited straight from the academy, and given the phony baloney identity of George Manly, certainly a moniker one could hang one’s hat on, with the intent he infiltrate the local underworld, collect information, and bring about some arrests…seems George has an extensive criminal describe, one with surprisingly puny or no convictions, and therefore is a likely candidate to join one of the larger gangs in the set (also the one responsible for a lot of the new villainous activity), an organization lead by Alec Stiles (Widmark), a savvy, luminous gangster with some influential friends. George, now a member of the gang, begins passing along information about the gang’s plans, but Stiles and his lackeys elude prefer due to a tip off from an informant within the local police department, one which Stiles uses to encourage ferret out the mole he believes planted within his occupy group. Seems Georgie’s days are numbered as Stiles has arrive up with a recent view to salvage rid of him, without getting any blood on his hands…
There are a lot of things to like about this film including the solid (and slightly predictable) writing, the extremely kindly directing, but I particularly liked the performances. I view Trace Stevens did very well in the lead, as he seemed a very personable type and was able to pull off the advantageous guy pretending to be a dreadful guy very well, but I consider he got upstaged by Richard Widmark, who would eventually display he could play both the antagonist and protagonist equally as well (if you derive a chance, check out 1950’s Dread in the Streets, where Widmark plays the hero portion) . I should mention Widmark has always been one of my common actors, so perhaps I’m a slight biased, and generally the dreadful guys are more bright than the expedient guys in features like these, but I assume Widmark brought a lot to the section. The writing fleshed his character out stunning well, which was complimented by Widmark turning Stiles from unbiased your rush of the mill alpha thug into an shiny, albeit sadistic, character working any number of angles in order to solidify his stranglehold on the city and stop one step ahead of law enforcement (at least the law enforcement not corrupted by the criminal element) . Widmark did seemed slightly constrained here, so perhaps he was composed coming into his acquire given this was only his second film. I particularly liked his character’s screening process which he traditional to blueprint in potential recruits to his gang. I also liked how he utilized techniques normally stale by law enforcement to his maintain ends, especially in terms of finding out who within his group was the rat. The tale, which was apparently developed with the attend of the FBI (as stated in some upfront text), moves along well, and has a number of scenes relating investigational techniques worn at the time, many of which are serene employed today (fingerprint analysis, matching the grooves on spent bullets, etc.) . This kind of information is dilapidated news to us nowadays given the popularity of the investigational police dramas scattered across the television, but I’m definite at the time the movie was released, the general public probably had slight view how law enforcement mild evidence and frail it against those who would commit crime. One piquant fact I did learn while watching this feature was that wait on in the day, police way seemed to be `shoot first, shoot again, and then ask questions’. The funniest share for me enthusiastic John McIntire’s character, who was the insist contact man for Cordell while he was undercover. He was holed up in a squalid, fleabag flophouse across from Cordell’s squalid, fleabag flophouse, and he would spend an exclusive and cumbersome looking shortwave getup to communicate with headquarters, one that featured some big headphones with antenna protruding from the top. All in all I opinion this a solid feature with distinct `noir-ish’ qualities, one worth checking out if you delight in dark and white crime dramas.

The narrate, presented in fullscreen aspect ratio (1.33:1), looks valid, but it does have some imperfections, mainly the occasional vertical line running down the veil. It’s not as unpleasant as I’ve seen in other releases, but it is noticeable from time to time. The audio, available in both Dolby Digital stereo and mono, comes through well-kept. Special features included are an spicy and interesting commentary track featuring film historians James Ursini and Alain Silver, a theatrical trailer for the film, and trailers for other 20th Century Fox noir DVD releases like Call Northside 777 (1948), House of Bamboo (1955), Laura (1944), and Alarm in the Streets (1950) .
