    I love all the Warner Bros ‘Tough
    Guys’, but Nobody compares to
    George Raft. He had the look, the
    voice and the charisma! He is my
    Favorite Classic film star! ❤️💯

    I grew up on Classic movies watching them with my parents & siblings. George Raft has been one of my favorites, along with James Gagney since I first saw "Each Dawn I Die" which started with George Raft & James Gagney. These two actors with Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Carry Grant, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewert, Edward Arnold, Eryl Flynn, Jack Carson, Zachery Scott, Robert Cummings, and John Wayne. The Actor George Raft slapped was also in "Each Dawn I Die". A great cast of Actors. The lead Actress in this movie, I just watched a movie with David Gavin & she was very good in that movie also!!! I love Classic Movies, I now watch them with my son as my parents did with me!!! We have pictures of a lot of Classic Actors on the wall in our movie-watching room where all of our Classic Movies are kept about 2000 Classic Movies. We have quite a collection & now we have discovered The Magic Of UA-cam Classic Movie Collection, Awesome!!! Happy Holidays Everyone to You & All Of Your Loved Ones.

      George was a Taxi dancer for hire. Women would buy a ticket and George would dance with them. Cagney was a Taxi dancer too.
      George also had a dance routine he learned in Harlem at the Cotton Club. He would do a shim sham routine for the troops in the rain in WW2 anywhere he could fit a stage. Anything to entertain the troops.
      George is also credited with bringing the Rumba to the United States and was featured in a movie dancing it with Carole Lombard, the future Mrs. Clark Gable.

    That car that George Raft is driving:
    - 1952 Sunbeam Talbot 90 Sports Saloon Mk.II (4-door Sports Saloon)
    - Mk.II produced were from 1948 - 1954
    - Engine 2267cc S4 OHV - This engine was used on the 'Humber Hawk'
    - 1000 units made in 1952 of this model
    - Reinforced rear frame
    - Hypoid rear axle
    - Coil independent front suspension
    - Sliding roof standard
    - Top speed approx. 80/85mph
    This model 1952 Sunbeam Talbot 90 Sports Saloon Mk.II was availble as a 'Sports Saloon' (as this one in the film) or a 'Drophead Coupe' aka; softtop convertable. I also believe that the rear fender wheel-well covers were only used on the Mk.II 1952 models, not quite sure but almost 100% certain about that!

Then stomp on it make alot of noise but didn't speed ahead much make them think ours was not running well or just sucked anyway there I go again rambling I wasn't much of a car person but the others going down the highway so no street lights the car in front of you was just tale lights and they knew what kind and what year it was just from tale light that really impressed me try to do any.

    Thank you for this! Great to see shots of London docks in the 50's. I really enjoyed the musical references too, giving us little clues as we went along. I really enjoy British Noir. Do you have any more? Thank you.

      Wasn't he a mobster or a once mobster ?

      film from 1948 or 49 he was as wooden as a red injun.

      earlwest3502, George Raft had a very particular "stiff" style of acting. But many successful years in the biz! Some reasons for his popularity were those same kinds of roles he played, cool, entertaining. Audiences loved him. Not to mention his eyes, voice and the Hot dance moves! His reputation towards women was one of respect And skilful seduction. Odd, but true! 😁

      I thought the same thing about Raft at first but have grown to appreciate him much more over time. Like Mitchum, he had a pretty laid-back and laconic delivery of his lines. Maybe that's why you call him a one-trick pony. As for turning down roles, I think it's easier to say that now than it was at the time. Predicting what is good at any moment is as hard then as it is today.

      It was only 7 years after WW2, and still the British age of coal. Homes and apartments were heated with it, electricity was generated with it, even the cooking gas was made from it. Between the war bombing, the national debt from the war, and coal there was plenty of "dirty", and not much dough to mitigate it

Always some funny stuff... especially attractive is toughie George Raft being arm-wrestled by the blonde, then put on kitchen duty, and the way she whipped off his frilly apron as they went on the lam! Raft's earlier films showed his humour and versatility. He was much more than just a tough guy!

I've heard that material with low viewership and high age gets compressed for storage space maintenance. All it takes is a couple compression cycles and you'll wonder if it's a person or bonobo ape on screen...... which pixel is the eye? Just realized I've seen this gem but in quite lower quality....... big thanks :)

      Yes, those are two qualities George shared with... er... wood. But he had a certain tough appeal in gangster roles a decade or two earlier. He seemed particularly uneasy in those clinches with lovely Sally Gray, as if he found them a chore. He may have been all too aware of the age gap.

    George Raft gives more than a one note performance - he speaks entirely on one pitch - - i'm unfamiliar with Sally Gray - she was quite beautiful - she was in her late 30s in this film but looked younger - which made the 14 year age gap between her and Raft seem wider - this was her last film before retiring - dying slightly over 50 years later at age 91
