Smashing The Rackets DVD

Jim "Sock" Conway former fighter, former fed. Now benched by the political hacks infesting the DA's office, Sock's racket busting days are seemingly behind him. But when the mob's muscle leans a little too hard on some neighbor pals of his, it's time for the Assistant DA to don the gloves of a Special Prosecutor and give the rackets the licking they deserve. But Sock's return to racket busting soon puts his girl and her flighty debutante sister in danger. Inspired by the exploits of real life New York DA Thomas Dewey, Chester Morris leads the cast in this tight, no-nonsense crime thriller ably directed by maven Lew Landers. Supporting stars Rita Johnson and Frances Mercer shine especially bright as the two imperiled siblings.
