    Written by John Chard on Sun Mar 29 2020
    Sucking around is my job. Crime in the Streets is directed by Don Siegel and written by Reginald Rose. It stars John Cassavetes, James Whitmore, Sal Mineo, Mark Rydell, Virginia Gregg, Peter J. Votrian, Will Kuluva and Malcolm Atterbury. Music is scored by Franz Waxman and cinematography by Sam Leavitt. Social worker Ben Wagner (Whitmore) tries to help local slum gang, The Hornets, especially their troubled leader Frankie Dane (Cassavetes). When your body hits that sidewalk nobody will even turn around to look at yah. Decent "juve delinquent" lecture movie, Crime in the Streets boas...
