THE GREATEST GANGSTER THRILLER THAT EVER EXPLODED FROM THE SCREEN!

Overview

Mobster "Baby Face" Martin returns home to visit the New York neighborhood where he grew up, dropping in on his mother, who rejects him because of his gangster lifestyle, and his old girlfriend, Francey, now a syphilitic prostitute.
