Port of New York

Yul Brynner electrifies the screen in his first starring role as ruthless and silky suave gentleman gangster Paul Vicola. Vicola runs a Yacht Club as a front for the east coast's largest heroin smuggling ring. Treasury Agents discover Vicola's mobsters brazenly sneaking the contraband in through America's front door, New York harbor, and plot a dragnet to bring down his criminal empire.

Featuring K.T. Stevens as the pretty girl caught in Vicola's clutches and sweaty William Challee as an impish nightclub impresario who squeals on the wrong man, Port of New York is a tough and visceral crime film strikingly captured in cinematographer George E. Diskant's stark "noir" camerawork.
