About Waterfront at Midnight
Hoping to put the cuffs on criminal mastermind Socks Barstow, detective Mike Hanrohan is stymied by the fact that his younger brother Denny has joined Barstow's gang. Things get worse after a bloody shootout, in which Mike apparently guns down his own brother.
Directed by William Berke, Waterfront at Midnight leans on a strong ensemble — William Gargan, Mary Beth Hughes, Richard Travis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1948.
