"Vice Raid" is a very good cop film with mostly little-known actors--apart from Mamie Van Doren. It's the story about an unnamed city's vice squad--one in which much of the force is on the take to the mob. However, one cop isn't on the take and isn't afraid of the crooks--and because of that, Mr. Big has decided to ruin him. So, using some help he imported from another city, he uses Carol Hupdson (Van Doren) and the cop's own partner to lie about his to internal affairs. Next thing you know, he's off the force--and itching for revenge. And what finally helps the now ex-cop in his crusade against the gangs? Carol's little sister is the key. How exactly it all works out is for you to see for yourself.

While this film lacks a huge budget and big-name stars, it makes up for it with tough dialog and a nice little story. The bottom line is that for an inexpensive noir film, it delivers the goods and is worth your time.

This is notable for the no singing, no dancing, no wiggling outing for the usually Vivacious Mamie Van Doren. Here she is more Thespian than usual and gets to show some Acting chops. But for those looking to find sleaze and "Girlie Mag" cheesecake will be disappointed.

It is a very tame and unremarkable Movie that treats its subject matter with Docu-Style blandness and never opens up to allow any real taste of the lurid backdrop that it shamelessly exploits. There is nary a scantily clad Female Form to be had.

Dull and barely interesting it is one of those low-budget, trash Flicks that can't even be faithful to its picturesque Premise. It contains a Scene or two that almost approaches its intent with some sharp Violence, but for the most part it is only watchable for a good try at playing it somewhat straight for Mamie, but not much else. She does manage to don a bathing suit and a trademark shiny dress.

This is interesting from a historical viewpoint. Obviously this movie was made to appeal as much as possible to prurient interests, while disingenuously throwing a skimpy veil of morality over it, so that people (meaning men, like me) way back when had some sort of flimsy excuse for our viewing (leering?) pleasure.

Today, given that we no longer seem to need to bother with any excuses (in entertainment, at least),this movie is pretty pointless, but many guys might still find it fun and titillating to see what people used to consider "daring" and "risque". Women probably won't be very impressed by either this movie or you for watching it.

The plot is thinner than the flat screen you're going to watch it on, while the women are pleasantly thick. It's really short. It's not even close to Shakespeare. Your choice.
