The Numbers Racket
An unethical lawyer, with an older brother he wants to help, becomes a partner with a client in the numbers racket.

The plot which unfolds is a terse, melodramatic thriller notable for realist location photography, almost poetic dialogue and frequent biblical allusions (Cain and Abel, Judas’s betrayal, stigmata).

What I really liked about this film is how it portrays the numbers racket. Whoever wrote this clearly knew what he was talking about. As someone who has studied the Mafia and its activities, I have a pretty good idea of how the numbers business works and how it can (or cannot) be rigged. These concerns are addressed in a very knowledgeable way.

PURE FILM-NOIR…BRUTAL…POETIC & ATMOSPHERIC…HEIGHTENED REALISM EXPOSING UNBEARABLE TRUTHS
Anti-Capitalism by way of the “Numbers Racket”.

Involved is Everyone. Complicit is Everyone.

About the “Illegal” Machinations of Nickle and Dime Gambles by the Proletariat.

Openly Hidden in the News-Stands of Hotel Lobbies and the Backrooms of Pool Halls and City Halls.

The Story and Rhythmic Banter of Street-Poetry is Mesmerizing as it Unfolds.

Wall-Street Lawyer John Garfield is Retained by “The Mob” to Launder, and Again, “Hide” the Ill Gotten Gains.

Garfield’s Silver Tongue and Aloof Demeanor is the Mouthpiece for Director/Writer Polonsky to Confront the “System”

Therefore Exposing an Uncomfortable Binding Truth.

The Exploitation of the Little Guy for Their Labor, Services, and Silence is Corrupting Society .

Starting at the Bottom of the Pyramid, where Garfield’s Brother is a Living, Hardly-Breathing, Walking Corpse Waiting for the Inevitable.

He Epitomizes the Disheveled Bondage from the Devil-Gang of Murderers, Blackmailers, and Worse.

Along the Crooked Path We Meet Other Individuals Surrounded by Evil.

Good-Souls who are Regular People Doing Jobs to Support a Meager Living.

Also, a Book-Keeper that is Destructing Before Our Eyes and is a Pathetic Crack on the Walls of Foundation that are About to Tumble.

A Good-Natured Naive Secretary whose Impish Innocence Seduces Garfield Away from the “Dark Side” with Her Charming Presence and Love.

This is Pure Film-Noir Peaking in the Post-War, Soon to be Cold-War Environment.

A Must-See, Powerful Picture of Gut-Wrenching Expressionism.
