The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond

Directed by Budd Boetticher

The Wildest Mobster of the Roaring Twenties!

Jack Diamond and his sickly brother arrive in prohibition New York as jewelry thieves. After a spell in jail, the coldly ambitious Diamond hits on the idea of stealing from thieves himself and sets about getting close to gangster boss Arnold Rothstein to move in on his booze, girls, gambling, and drugs operations.
