Description: Actors: Ed Binns, Carolyn Craig, Virginia Gregg, Russ Conway, Lawrence Dobkin, Frank Gorshin, Scott Brady, Raymond Burr, Johanna Matz, Gert Frobe, Ingrid Stenn. It's all here, SIN by SIN, BRIBE by BRIBE, SHOCK by SHOCK – Blistering in the newspaper headlines! Nakedly shocking on the screen. This Forgotten Film Noir includes Portland Expose and They Were So Young. In the 1950's LIFE Magazine printed a blistering expose on the rampant sin, crime and Teamsters-controlled corruption that at the time had a stronghold on Portland, Oregon. Producer Lindsley Parsons seized upon the considerable publicity and assembled a cast of great character actors for the starring roles. Although the film crew was threatened with physical violence, the result is a dark and gritty filmed-on-location crime drama that contains considerable violence for a 1950's movie, most notably a violent rape scene with the Frank Gorshin character and a teenage girl. The second feature, They Were So Young: Five European models arrive in Rio de Janeiro and become trapped in a white slavery ring. An exciting crime melodrama with Raymond Burr at his villainous best! DVD Bonus & Features: Original Theatrical Trailers, Commentary by assistant director Lindsley Parson Jr, Original Advertising Materials, Bios: DVD-5, Dolby Digital, 152 minutes, B&W, 1.85:1, NR, 1954 & 1957.
