New York Confidential (1955) | Full Film Noir Movie | Broderick Crawford | Richard Conte 

I defy any crime film lover not to appreciate and enjoy this excellent film. All round good performances; excellent script and the action never slowed or stopped. I loved it and at the age of 87, I have seen probably hundreds of crime movies over the years. Trust me, give it a whirl. You will not be disappointed. England, January, 2024.

Broderick Crawford was great in anything!

I love that I can still find old noir films on YT. It’s amazing, because the alternative is such crap

Anne Bancroft, what a doll. She was a fashion model before acting.

Bancroft was such a fabulous, natural actor. What a performance.

This is a terrific movie. Broderick Crawford, Richard Conte, Marilyn Maxwell, and Anne Bancroft shine.

Conte was super smooth in that first hit!!!

Good mobster script! Bancroft/Conte are great. Gangsters, corrupt politicians. Somethings never change.

Excellent, my first time. Broderick adds to any film.

Whew. Movies from the old days. In this day and time of repeat recycled themes, nothing could be better than these old movies. Thank you to Sprocket Vault.

Richard Conte true gangster in this one. Loyal button-man. I’ve never seen this. Absolutely great film. Thanks for posting it

Besides, Broderick Crawford is ALWAYS good n funny n tough n a little classless, but vehement in his mob characterizations, n Richard Conte is one of my favourite film noir stars n leading men!!!

Anne Bancroft is a wonderful actress

I love watching Black & White films they are peaceful and magical 😊

Tremendous entertainment! Great editing and dialogue. Beautifully shot black and white. Excellent film with many well-drawn characters.

Love those cars.

Later, Anne Bancroft, aka Anna Maria Louisa Italiano, age 25 in 1955, married famous film director Mel Brooks.

What an absolutely brilliant and wonderfully scripted film that was! Filled with drama, double cross, intrigue and typical gangland behaviour, it was great to see the likes of Richard Conte and Broderick Crawford delivering their usual quality. Film producers of today could learn a lot from their counterparts from that era, on how to make a film truly worth watching. This was good old fashioned acting without the special effects and going OTT. Many thanks for posting.

I thought it was excellent. Conte is brilliant. I found out that he was Barzini in the Godfather.

This is an excellent movie. They do not make them like this anymore.

Excellent film noir, one I've somehow overlooked and never watched. Thanks Sprocket Vault.

Richard Conte is always cool to watch, and this is the best I've seen from Broderick Crawford -- and Mrs. Robinson in younger days, sultry then as now. A fast, witty script.

This is a competently crafted Grade B film until Anne Bancroft enters. She eats the screen.

OK.. this is 10 out of 10 real Nior... every thing is here that is Nior... great B movie crime drama

Such a great movie.I can't believe I have never seen it before. Thank you so much !

Anne Bancroft was absolutely stunning

Victor Conte ...Ann Bancroft saying good night....at her apartment...with no words...nice scene

Intriguing story. "Dames" and all...😂❤

This is GOLD!

Absolutely brilliant! Watched it twice in a row.

I have watched and enjoyed lots and lots of this genre and this one must be in the top 3 for quality, pace, stereotypes and storyline. It's like a great Humphry Bogart flick but on speed! Absolutely fantastic.

Fun B movie! Love film noir! Ann Bancroft. Wow

Mike Mazurki was a the perfect tough guy gangster. Went from lawyer to wrestling to the screen.

What a cast, what a film. I can’t believe I never saw this until tonight. Crawford’s portrayal of Lupo might be the best of a gangster I’ve seen.

Totally excellent movie....so realistic I am surprised it got made back then. And the names Charlie, Albert, and Ben were no accident. This came out two years before Albert Anastasia was killed in a barber shop....I wonder if he saw it.

Yessss!! Ive been looking for this film!! Awesome!!!

Magnificent. And "Oh, my God, Anne Bancroft!"

Great movie 🎥👍

Acting is always changing onscreen. In the time this movie was made, actors were still oriented to working on stage, where an actor must exaggerate. In fifty years, people will be able to pick out stylistic phoniness in the films of today. It's always changing, you just don't notice it contemporaneously because the style of acting today is in sync with what passes as real.

Five minutes in and I'm surprisingly hooked.

Nobody then or now ever made crime films better then Warner Brothers.

How Don Barzini made his bones. Coppola must have drawn volumes from this. One assasination attempt looks just like the hit on Vito in GF I. So gangster!

Broderick Crawford was terrific. Very believable as a tough, corrupt crook.

I don't usually watch mobster movies, but this was really good. Highly recommend.

Great movie great cast of actors

Fantastic movie - as others have commented. Thanks for posting.

Richard Conte was actually older than Broderick Crawford while filming this. Yet, having Crawford playing the elder somehow still fits

I had never seen a young Anne Bancroft in a movie before. What a beautiful young woman she was. Deep breathe, sigh.

Would have been interesting if Rodney Dangerfield was cast as Lupo...

Oh thanks for posting. I was not expecting to shed tears 😭

Excellent movie! Great acting! Thanks for posting!

Awe man, this movie is great. 👍🏿

What an excellent film with great screen actors! Thanks.

Excellent!

Had to find a film noir to fall asleep to at 4:40a.m. cuz otherwise, my mind races too much in critique of any other type movies I haven't yet seen, n I totally hate anything made after 2000 unless it's Johnny Depp. Since he's not on for free, I go to my all time most elegant, interesting, beautiful n cool movies ever made "the film noir" genre.

Great movie, Crawford speaks so rapidly, did anyone else notice?

Great movie! Boy these old flicks are pure gold.❤

Charlie's not really dead. He changed his name to Dan Matthews and joined the Highway Patrol! Ten four?

Really enjoy these older b&w movies...glad you came up on my feed. You just got a new subscriber!

I thought Broderick Crawford only talked like that in Highway Patrol. Rat-a-tat-tat, machine gun style.

TY The Sprocket Vault for making my day! Somehow, I never heard of this film, but it has 2 of my favorite actors in it, so a rare find. Bancroft, Conte & Crawford make it a powerhouse of a film. 1080HD with a quality film like this is a treat, too. I will rewatch it soon- I think Bancroft says more with her Eyes than many other actors. Don't read this until you see the movie: (About running of a road with no skid marks- I've dodged Deer at the last second without having time to hit the brakes.) TY!

Thank you

Still better than 99% the movies made today 😉

Fantastic. 😊❤

Liked everything about it except the Broderick Crawford character - the way it was written, not Crawford's performance- he's a peerless actor - but you cant rise above your material. The whole " he's a mob boss but a decent guy at heart" characterization didn't even come close to holding water w me though Crawford did as well as could be done with the material he had to work with. The rest of the characters and performances were all excellent though. Really liked Conte and Bancroft and the direction and photography and supporting character performances and pacing were all very good held my interest. Wish they'd done a better job with the lead character ( or secondary lead if you consider Conte's character the lead ) though. So many better portrayals of mob bosses in movies. Not comparing to the Godfather- there is plenty of other not as great portrayals that still are way better than this Lupo character not to mention characters like Willie Stark who isnt a mob boss but a political boss. Anyone who wants to see what Crawford can do with a portrayals of a morally ambiguous powerful man should go watch All The Kings Men immediately if you haven't seen it

Warner Bros. Alway's had the best films. Still do.

Cold steel vs. Iron Mountain. When the two forces work together, and when they collide, poetic justice Unstoppable meet immovable object.

Thank you P.P. Appreciated.

Enjoyed the film immensely. However it always strikes me as unusual that they never close their curtains and blinds at night. Crawford (Lupo) gets shot in an assassination attempt yet his curtains are wide open as in daytime. Makes it so easy for the shooters. So many films are like this, especially film noirs.

This was good

Fabulous movie.

The Syndicate just goes by WEF now, otherwise known as The Schwab Mob.

I wish James Gandolfini had lived long enough to remake this film as Charlie Lupo. Who would you have chosen for the roles of his daughter Katherine and Nick Magellan?

Love B. Crawford, I first saw him in "Born Yesterday" with J. Holliday and W. Holden..

Crawford was a wonderful man...

What a fantastic film….

Brod Crawford an almost forgotten actor...

Tastes like something you put wallpaper on wit!!! Broderick Crawford quip#1 - funny!!!😊

Larceny, Inc. is my favorite movie with Broderick Crawford.

The End is convenient but unreal. In real life, Nick wouldn't returned home to be shot at. Nick would have SURELY have expect this, so he would have a Plan B or even C.

Enjoyable from start to finish!

Thanks....

Wow what a movie

Zippo lighter in the opening scene put out a flame like the Hindenburg.

Ahead of it's time when. I didn't know the inner workings of the mob was known until the late 60's and 70's. The meeting of the bosses to organise a hits trope etc..

Yummy. A Salami on rye and a. Kosher pickle !!!

Great movie. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA

EXCELLENT FILM NOIRE, BETTER THAN MST ON UTBE

This is the template for the movie Scarface with Al Pacino. Wow

Great movie crazy life of a gangster no one wins .. I don’t get why anyone would want this!

I forgot that Anne Bancroft was on the titles then at 41:28 it was like, hey that's her.

This movie is very similar to most mob stories but the end of the movie in New York Confidential...where crime does not pay...is very different than that of the Godfather...where the mob is glorified at the end

In this film noir Richard Conte emotes class, but I like the noir he's in where he's a gambling club owner in England n is studying class n manners n finishing school with the old English dowager!!! He's got the right idea, if you don't already have class, you have to study it!!!!

Mrs Robinson never talked about her father.

One of the best.❤❤❤

'Clean as a whistle'....

And the kids (some of them way over 50!) think it all started with Puzo, Coppola and "The Godfather".

Anne bancroft i thought it was a latina actress!!

I can see Conte blossoming to a Barzini in the Godfather.... #1 code never sleep with the Capo's lady or else !

34:28 Get a load of those Dagmars on the front of the Caddy. Those were the days!
