Falk was a remarkable man. Faced adversity ever since he was 3, losing his eye because it had some weird cancer in it. Class president in high school. College educated. Master's degree. Certified public accountant. Efficiency expert. Applied for a CIA job, but got turned down. This was all before this movie. Made a LOT of friends in Hollywood and fast. So many actors and actresses wanted to part of a Columbo project as if they were jumping at the opportunity. After a 10 year hiatus Columbo made a successful comeback on TV. He was executive producer in a lot of the newer episodes. Very talented and smart...don't let the funny sounding New York accent, short stature and glass eye fool you into thinking he's wasn't smart.
Do you know IMCDb? IMDb for cars, not exhaustive but good, if you reverse engineer it (as is done with some cars) it can lead you to some good car movies, lotsa classics, films & cars.
Indeed! They made quality stuff in those days. And thank you for the upload. I had never heard of this movie. Peter Falk is always so good. As a kid I grew up watching 'Columbo' and then with my kids we watched the TV series all over again - never gets old - and now I found this great film. Thank you so much!😍
The shot looking down into the street through the wrought iron was pure genius This is an absolute gem of a movie Abe Ellis is one of the most convincing bad guys I’ve seen
@@mikemcclure9983 Hey I was gonna mention that too! And the wrought iron,,, can I mention the boards used to make a ramp on the sidewalk for the low slung car to back up the lane for a quick getaway,,, pure GENIUS. Must be hard to back up a car when you got one glass eye like Peter Falk. Amazing he got a job as a gangster in a mob with only one eye. I wonder what his hoodlum friends nicknamed him when he was just a young punk? But the wrought iron,, that sure is something eh? There is absolutely nothing better than great camera work especially in a cinematic medium! Hey look at me,, I'm acting like a gangster,, just busting balls here,, C'MON,,,,PUT THE GUN DOWN,,, HONEST I WAS JUST (bam bam ,,,,,,, ah,, )
Abe Reles was his name. Kid Twist. He had on hell of a story. A cold blooded murderer, racketeer, and pimp with a heavy hand: and, in the end, a rat who died the death of a mob snitch. In his own words, like a dog. His karma led him to his nightmare ending. Quite a story.
Agree with the first part of your comment but not the part about LA. Different eras but check out: Chinatown, Heat, To Live and Die in LA, Pulp Fiction, Mulholland Drive, Repo Man, Boyz in the Hood.
@@mostradamThat's the point, they're geographically so different you couldn't replicate French Connection chase in L.A. & how many chase scenes have been filmed in concrete L.A. River basin? Movies you mention all about urban sprawl, entire plot of Roger Rabbit based on it. Oh, & palm trees, like Chinatown. No Griffith Park for Rebel Without a Cause drag race in NYC, either. Of course, probably couldn't film Ghostbusters in L.A. No Mulholland Drive in Manhattan, has Lynch ever even filmed there? NYC for Allen & Lumet.
To Steve Weinstein, 4 movies filmed on location in NYC, check out "The Harder They Fall," starring Humphrey Bogart and Rod Steiger. There is a scene in the movie where the car is turning the corner, and the street sign is clearly visible. The street sign was dirty. Hollywood would never hv thought of tt. Hollywood would hv used a clean sign. There is nothing like the real thing.😊😊
@@letsgobrandon6281Yes,Henry Morgan was on" What's My Line," a few times.and a regular panelist on" To Tell the Truth," with Bud Collyer,as the host.Kitty Carlise,Betsy Palmer, Bess Meyerson.
Henry Morgan also had a radio show of his own. But he heckled his on sponsors. And refused scripts and rehearsal. He wanted to ad lib everything. He was funny and a smart ass.
Peter Falk plays a convincing hood, but I’m glad he preferred the good guys and made the role of Columbo, the always shabby, always endearing, anti-hero detective his very own.
Can't blame ya. Incredibly deep and presents a powerful rebuttal against the "Norman Rockwell good ol' days", mindlessly blabbed out by today's and yesterday's ill-informed old folks of their own life's US history happening around them they were hopelessly oblivious to, if not so unforgivably shamefully in denial of otherwise. Peter Faulk debut in this one! Dude acted as if he was some actually mental sick cork screw twisted exceptionally SMART thug taken off the streets to play the role!!! Incredibly gifted in portraying a bygone urban sewage rat low-life morally inert motion picture character!!!!!
@GLORIA DEAN == THANKS GLORIA and this film from 1960 and ONE YEAR LATER in 1961 PETER FALK would be cast as NATE SELCO in the UNTOUCHABLES tv series episode of """the TROUBLE SHOOTER""" First episode of the THIRD SEASON broadcast on OCTOBER 12,1961, ABC TV7, NEW YORK CITY, 10 PM THURSDAY == Also featuring VINCENT GARDINIA......NED GLASS.....MURRAY HAMILTON *****
As a lifelong NYC resident & amateur American Mafia historian..as well as movie buff.. the movie Murder Inc. has all of my interests in one. Filmed in my hometown of Brooklyn..it tells the story of Murder Incorporated fairly accurately..& the acting is top notch. I've watched this movie multiple times..&; im sure that I'll watch it again. Btw one of the only things that the movie got wrong is that Albert Anastasia was in his 30s during the 1930s... NOT in his 60s ..
Although Falk is playing a bad guy Abe Rellis - affectionately known as Kid Twist, I still cant help routing for him a little bit because he lends a kind of charm to the character
This persons channel is confusing , lots of videos of some women then some old movies uploaded in between. So random but cool at the same time thanks for the upload
@ ok So I exaggerated a bit But colour did change the emphasis of movies from character and narrative to spectacle And Das Boot would nit gave been quite so astonishing on black and white or Come See But think of Battke ship Potemkin in colour and it simply wouldnt work
@ Right. Two good examples. But two movies out of fifty thousand (or whatever the actual count is) do not prove a thesis. In any case, the world outside movie theaters is in color so it kinda makes sense to have color movies.
It was Jews and Italians in the underworld making the hits. A dozen people were involved. Lepke and Anastasia ran the group. Kid Twist was just one of the hit men.
I just figured this out The problem with all gangsters from the '20s to modern day now for some reason they all kept saying that this is business none of this was business all of this was personal it was nothing business like between none of them nothing was business it was all killed or be killed betrayed or be betrayed no business between none of them they would have just did what they did in the shadows none of this would have came to the light they clamored for the limelight the spectacle of being seen and not heard was a problem nothing has changed from the gangsters of the 1920s to the gangsters of the 2020s hip hop area gangsters they all want to be seen with the flashy cars the flashy women the supposed businesses that they own with no way of showing a source of income everything in somebody else's name you could have did all that low brow or behind the scenes and still been successful but no ego ran rampant no different in this movie The biggest gangster thinks he's a businessman but he's not
I think china town matches the feel of L A just like murder inc. oh and the two Jake’s and other movies filmed on the west coast and other locations other such as San Francisco…………
Only one minute & 30 seconds into the movie & there is an ad and again at 5 min & 8 min & again at 12 min. This is crazy. Can 't watch the movie with all the ads! I'm out!

The name is Abe rellis not Ellis.
Joe Valachi told about Murder Inc. in The Valachi Papers.
Glad to see that Columbo recovered from that fall reformed and became a great detective
Changed his name and life story after faking his death. Watta new leaf!
"Introducing Peter Falk." Well, that's a find, isn't it?
"He s a maniac" 37:33
Morey Amsterdam,,,, Rob Petrie's head writer from the DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, who is actually still alive, isn't that AMAZING!
Simon Oakland from the Kolchak Night Stalker series. Annoying as ever :)
Morey s jokes onstage, 19:40, were prolly the lamest lines ever heard
Where's his raincoat?
I lived in NYC long ago. This is a very authentic film.
The house they used in Brooklyn to film Cher in the movie "Moonstruck" was sold to Amy Shumer the stand up comedienne for 12 million $.
Fallk -Outstanding !
Terrific Jazz Score as well.
Frank de Vol, who also wrote the score for Kiss me Deadly. I agree, superb.
I love films from this time filmed entirely on location in New York. They have a real feel for the city movies shot in LA can never have.
Even early Law & Order.
LA has no city center
just a gathering of
squared districts

Thanks so much for posting
Good flick thank you.
Truly enjoyed it... thank you❤
Gritty realism. For an older film, this was real grisley.
Falk was great, as were the others.
Thanks
Good Movie, Thank You.
Falk does Reles brilliantly
I kept hoping Reles would say, "one more thing..."
Good movie. First time seeing Henry Morgan in a movie; generally saw him on panels for game shows or talk shows.
Not the same guy
@@letsgobrandon6281Yes,Henry Morgan was on" What's My Line," a few times.and a regular panelist on" To Tell the Truth," with Bud Collyer,as the host.Kitty Carlise,Betsy Palmer, Bess Meyerson.
When Morgan was young he played in a lot of crime dramas. A kinda deranged tough guy, much like Richard Widmark did in this film era.
Henry Morgan also had a radio show of his own. But he heckled his on sponsors. And refused scripts and rehearsal. He wanted to ad lib everything. He was funny and a smart ass.
Harry Morgan.@@letsgobrandon6281
I remember seeing this when I was a kid with my father..on TV..in the 60's
Thank you so much for this💥💛

what a great movie .thank you.
at 18:17 .... June Lockhart ? Great movie, btw. I enjoyed this one. Peter Falk was outstanding...and May Britt......what a dish !
The smooth-talking mob “mediator” was so cool, calm, and collected in his threats to the shipping company boss. A classic shakedown indeed!
Beautiful score!
That was a great movie. Left me speechless.

Peter Falks first movie Wow ❤And Vincent Gardenia wow also in Moonstruck I lived this movie 🎥
Gardenia the detective in Charles Bronson's "Death Wish". Simon Oakland the police captain in "Bullett".
Peter Falk was Joe Pesci before Joe Pesci came on the scene.
Definitely worth watching. England, January, 2025.
I’ve seen it a few times. Great film. I love these Type of films.
I can see where a lot of subsequent films got some of their ideas from
Hate when the channel owner can’t be bothered to provide a synopsis - but thank you to all the commenters for recommending the film.
Go to google chrome and type the movie name. You can read entire plot
He can't it's against RUclips rules,he would get banned
Might spoil it for ya if it did. As this is a superb 1960 period flick about the 1930s crime shit hole of NY.
Yeah, those rude channel owners giving us free movies we've never seen before. Why don't they do more for us while they're at it?
@@marcsmirnoff936
'cause they are dedicated "Yellow Submarine cartoon movie meannies"!

May Britt, still alive at 90yo, Stuart Whitman passed in 2020 at 92!😳
Introducing Peter Faulk and Sarah vaughn... wow.the casting department had an amazing eye for unknown talent
Wow how back in the day the actor's was picked very well for there part's
Aw, come on Columbo, you know that light bulb is HOT! Peter Faulk played a lot of gangsters in his earlier days as an actor.
Some comical.
.. i have probably the most sensitive stomach in the world" .. constantly drinking milk and half raw eggs 🤣
Peter Falk was quite good in his role.so much so,you wanted him to be caught and sent to Prison.
What if Reles got up off the ground looked up and said, "one more thing"

Colour destroyed cinematography
Yeah. There's never been a well-shot color movie in the history of movies. Everything was better when we were kids. Poor us.
@ ok
So I exaggerated a bit
But colour did change the emphasis of movies from character and narrative to spectacle
And Das Boot would nit gave been quite so astonishing on black and white or Come See

@@marcsmirnoff936
Don't bother bro. Anthony would bitch at a stop sign. 🛑 "Oh look! It's RED!"
@@marcsmirnoff936That was in the early days of color.
Peter Falk looks much the same as he did in "A Pocketful of Miracles" with Glenn Ford. He might even be wearing the same overcoat and hat.
Interesting actors. Murder Inc were tough Jewish immigrant kids who grew up in the ghetto. They did all the contract hits for the Mafia.
It was Jews and Italians in the underworld making the hits. A dozen people were involved. Lepke and Anastasia ran the group. Kid Twist was just one of the hit men.
young Peter Falk - Murder Inc. Great
Incidentally you can see where Coppola got the dodgy light plot device in Godfather II from where Vito kills Fanucci

Peter Falk was just meant to wear a trench coat!
So much for police protection for witnesses…
Pete Falk unscrews the light bulb. He had a sensitive eye, they said.
A glass eye therefore sensitive to bright light.
…the heroine was superb…noble character…
*subscribed*
If you liked this one, check out the film Mad Dog Koll. Very similar.
The sweet shop was on the south west corner of Saratoga and Livonia,it was called midnight Rosie's
Peter Falk was such a great gangster lol. Check him out in a couple of episodes of the Untouchables playing scumbag gangsters.
I keep seeing Cousin Vinny in Falk when he's in a tux.
good movie .. so many familiar faces from the time before they were well known .. morey amsterdam & vincent gardenia ...

360p - very poor quality
@stu 👈😁
Very poor whining.
Lucky Luciano and Meyers Lansky and all the others of murder incorporated drama done well.
So Columbo started as a criminal, no wonder he was such a good detective.
Tks 4 uploading this movie. Do U hv the 1961 movie "Portrait of A Mobster," starring Vic Morrow as Dutch schultz? Tks.😊
The papers called them Murder lnc
But they were really just the police for the five families
It just doesn’t register that Peter Falk is playing a baddie! 🫣😊
Well, one thing is for sure...
Mae Britt is no Sammy Davis on the dancing!
I think at one time,Mai Brit and Sammy Davis, Jr.were together.
Yes that's true . I think they were married? But definitely were a item
@@TomLeach-dd8cl Yes, I think they were married.
How did I miss this gem so long?Does this not qualify as a noire film?
Peter Falk actually resembles Abe Reles/Kid Twist.
Was Columbo working undercover as a mob enforcer before moving to Los Angeles and joining the LAPD???
This was pre-Columbo.
@ Maybe he worked undercover in his native town before moving to LA.
Loosely based (very loosely) on the real story. There was, of course, no Joey or Eadie Collins.
Is that peter falk our young columbo?
Yes. Before he was Columbo.
The canary that could sing but couldn't fly said the newspapers upon Reles's death.

That movie started out with promise but then it was just bad.
Yeah, the way the girl and Falk's character were dispached is a sloppy rush job. Looks like the producers ran out of time, and money, and ideas!
These LA Sceneries should be presented asa ' before & after' in classrooms 😮
