'The Case Against Brooklyn' is a 1958 film noir crime film directed by Paul Wendkos, starring Darren McGavin and Margaret Hayes, and based on a 'True Magazine' article 'I Broke the Brooklyn Graft Scandal' by crime reporter Ed Reid. The film features depictions of American police corruption, though no police officer in uniform is shown to be corrupt.

Plot



In an attempt to combat police corruption, newly graduated rookie cops are recruited to serve undercover to find information on a complex illegal betting network in Brooklyn. One of these officers, ex-Marine Pete Harris, formerly with Military Intelligence in Japan, is tasked to make the acquaintance of a woman whose husband was recently murdered by the Mob over gambling debts.
