THE MOB (1951) 87 min. Sony-Columbia. D: Robert Parrish. When Bill Bowers pens the dialogue, you can count on the action and dialogue being fast, furious and funny— even in a tough story of a New York cop (Broderick Crawford) going deep undercover to thwart waterfront racketeers. When Crawford becomes too facile in pretending to be a crook, the real bad guys (an ominous Ernest Borgnine and menacing Neville Brand) decide to turn up the heat. This rugged melodrama with a mysterious twist maintained Crawford’s stardom at Columbia begun with his Oscar winning turn in All the King’s Men. Directed by Robert Parrish (Cry Danger). With: Richard Kiley, Betty Buehler, Lynne Baggett and John Marley. Shown in 35mm
