This is an original movie still photgraph from The Racket, a 1951 film noir starring Robert Mitchum, Lizabeth Scott, Robert Ryan, William Conrad and Ray Collins.
Directed by John Cromwell with uncredited directing help from Nicholas Ray, Tay Garnett, Sherman Todd and Mel Ferrer.
Future Perry Mason cast members William Talman and Ray Collins appear in key roles. William Conrad plays a Sgt. detective. Milburn Stone also plays a small role.
The plot is very close to the original play and the 1928 movie. Racketeer and mobster Nick Scanlon (Robert Ryan) has managed to buy several of the local government and law-enforcement officials of a large midwestern American city. However, he can't seem to touch the incorruptible police captain Tom McQuigg (Robert Mitchum), who refuses all attempts at bribery. The city's prosecuting attorney, Welsh, and a state police detective, Turk, are crooked and make McQuigg's job as an honest officer nearly impossible.
(Edward G. Robinson played the racketeer in the original Broadway production.)
