Not much to get excited about, but it does feature an early acting part by Yul Brynner as a ruthless gangster.

Port in a Storm. Port of New York is directed by Laszlo Benedek and written by Eugene Ling. It stars Scott Brady, Richard Rober, Yul Brynner and K.T. Stevens. Music is by Sol Kaplan and cinematography by George Diskant. Two federal agents work to crack a gang of murderous drug dealers who are operating out of the Port of New York. The strengths here are obvious, Diskant's photography provides atmospheric dread, the location shooting of New York is superb, and the smoothly villainous portrayal by Brynner is on the money and sets him on the path to the "A" list. Pic is kinda semi-documentary in style, complete with narration of course, and it's often violent enough to keep one hooked to the end. Minor film noir but not without merits. 6/10
