The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond

Before there was Bugsy there was Legs Diamond, the flamboyant New York depression-era gangster who was a legendary booze trafficker and notorious romeo. Ray Danton (I'll Cry Tomorrow) makes his film debut in this snappy chronicle...well-balanced between action gun battles and Danton's romancing, says Leonard Maltin, who rates this fast-paced bio-drama *** (three stars).
