Synopsis
"Edmund O’Brien (The Web) gets involved in the mob’s bookmaking racket in 711 Ocean Drive, also starring Joanne Dru (Red River), and Otto Kruger (Escape in the Fog).
TeIephone operator Mal Granger uses his technical knowIedge to run an illegal bookmaking operation, but when Granger falIs for a mobster’s wife, and with both the poIice and the syndicate on his tail, it’s onIy a matter of time before his Iuck runs out.
With a ‘ripped from the headlines’ approach which required the crew to have poIice protection on location, 711 Ocean Drive is a riveting fiIm noir, one made with such reaIism by director Joseph M Newman (Abandoned) that it was shown to a Senate investigation into organised crime. "
