About Joe Macbeth
Lily Macbeth pushes her husband Joe to rub out the reigning crime boss and become the new kingpin himself. Success is short-lived, however, as he confronts Lennie, a mobster whose father and wife were Joe's murder victims.
Directed by Ken Hughes, Joe Macbeth leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Douglas, Ruth Roman, Bonar Colleano — 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 1955.
