Into the 1940's, Dick Powell wanted to break the typecasting of a singer, dancer and romancer in musicals, which themselves were falling a bit out of favor. He turned to drama, film noir and, later, television in such roles in the 1950's. His "Four-Star Productions" was a success, making a number of early TV hits.
What is strangely evident in this movie is the international cooperation among decent people with shared values of justice. This is sadly lacking today.
Super. Not often I sit through an hour and three quarters of movie without getting bored and fidgety. Powell excellent as so often, and great supporting cast. Thank you very much!
Quality Movie. Thank You. Imagine a World where Integrity and decency were prevalent. Isn't that what it takes to stand up to greed and corruption? Once those values are lost by the majority, its very hard to regain them.
They were corrupted back then also…just no said anything. Go check out Supreme Court ruling back then…80% violated the constitution…and no one gave a shit…
@@akwawka.... Between allowing Leftists to teach our youth & unfettered immigration The nations culture has shifted from its core values ... the nations got problems that a 1 term president can't fix... take more then a decade & most don't even see the tragedy that has engulfed a once proud republic...
Quite intricate, but then it would be based on true life events. I did discover one thing though & it has me wondering which came first, The film title or the good old number (song) To The Ends of the Earth. That's worth a listen to.
I stay out of the way of both the crime gangs and the government agents supposedly there to stop them. **In practice, it's like watching two biker gangs fight it out.

Another great Dick Powell movie and it is a shame that won't happen today.
Dick Powell’s movies are always great to watch. 😊😊😊😊

Very good movie!!! I’ve seen it before, but a long time ago!! Dick Powell has always been one of my favorite actors!!!
THANK YOU for NOT colorizing this film! Good picture; well-paced and full of fascinating detail. Surprise ending.
This is a very good well produced film!! A restoration one day would do it justice.
Quality Movie. Thank You.

Isn't that what it takes to stand up
to greed and corruption?
Once those values are lost by the
majority, its very hard to regain them.
Jamyla that's what's happening now. Corruption has come to power ,and the rich Oligarchs have been poisoning AMERICAN DEMOCRACY !!!
Dick Powell is a nice guy, no matter what he's doing.
I liked Dick Powell. Ty for posting
Very well done. Masterly woven bits of information that just hint at the possibilities.
Great movie filmed the year I was born
I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
Good. Thank you.
Supposedly 1935, still haven't stopped the trade 90 yrs later, and it's probably bigger than ever.
maybe the lessons provided 90 years ago have not been heeded to...
Lol back in the day when all federal depts weren’t corrupt! This would sound pathetic nowadays
That's because, back in the day, your population wasn't so corrupt. LOL.
They were corrupted back then also…just no said anything. Go check out Supreme Court ruling back then…80% violated the constitution…and no one gave a shit…

Yep, "Government of the people, by the people and for the people (Abraham Lincoln)."

Wow! Such an awful truth: there ARE too many Shu Phan's in this evil world. Take Sean Diddy Combs, for instance ~ a real menace.
What's the furthest you have ever travelled?
From Chicago to Jamaica! ❤🌴🌴🌴🌎🏖✈✈✈⛱😃😍💞💖💞💖
About 4400 miles from home.
Why didn't the Commissioner (Dick Powell) try and save some of the jettisoned human cargo?
Some selfish a whole pasted his trademark on every frame of this.
Dreadful movie. Love the movies from this era, but this thing was endless, drawn out and awful.
