| Comments |
Senate hearings on organized crimes, also known as Kefauver hearings named after the senator heading them, was a big hit on American TVs in 1950. Hollywood took notice and number of films, so called city exposé, appeared on movie screens across America starting with independently produced The Captive City in 1952. Coming late in the cycle and sharing the same distributor, United Artists, Chicago Confidential is a prime example of this sub-genre featuring an excellent cast - Brian Keith, Beverly Garland and Elisha Cook Jr.
The single-layered MOD disc from MGM is progressive and overall has decent print quality. Contrast suffers as there is a greenish hue on the print and some digital noise, especially during the night scenes. There are no extras, although if you can find the disc for a reasonable price, it can be moderately recommended. |
