The Rise And Fall Of Legs Diamond - 1960 - 6/10
More gangster than Noir, yet close enough.
Two-bit hood, Jack Diamond, lands job with one of the top bosses.
With the death of his boss, Jack, now Legs, peddles protection, and shoots enemies.
Exuberant hubris and unchecked ego, he starts to make demands on the Syndicate.
Ray Danton is ruthlessly wonderful in the title role, from the exciting rise to the seedy fall.
