What Race Street Is About

Dan Gannin runs a nightclub in San Francisco and takes bets on the side, and when a syndicate moves in on the city’s bookmakers he refuses to fall into line; once his closest friend is killed it stops being business. One of the men around him is a plainclothes policeman, so every road open to him runs through somebody else’s career or life. Edwin L. Marin made it from a story by Maurice Davis, scripted by Martin Rackin. George Raft and William Bendix play it together, with a score by Roy Webb. The RKO picture came out in June 1948 and is now among the more obscure noirs of its moment.
