Almost semi-documentary style tale of true crime mingled with fiction. A career starter for Peter Falk, who plays Abe Reles, killer for the mob. MURDER, INC spins a story about notable syndicate boss Louis "Lepke" Buchalter(David J. Stewart) and his murder-for-hire operations. Nightclub singer Joey Collins(Stuart Whitman)and his dancer girlfriend Eadie(May Britt)get tangled into Lepke's web. Dead serious federal agent Turkus(Henry Morgan) convinces the prolific and specific murderer Reles to squeal on Lepke and his mob of guns and knives for hire. Morey Amsterdam plays a not-so-funny funny man that is a victim of Murder, Inc. Jazz great Sarah Vaughan has a brief part as a nightclub singer. Also in the cast: Eli Mintz, Joseph Bernard and Vincent Gardenia.
