Joe Macbeth (1955, U.K./U.S.A.)

Shakespeare (more-or-less) in modern gangster setting. Lily MacBeth pushes her husband Joe to rub out the reigning crime boss and become the new “kingpin” himself. Success is short- lived, however, as he confronts Lennie, a mobster whose father and wife are Joe’s murder victims.  Directed by Ken Hughes (Casino Royale), starring Paul Douglas and Ruth Roman.
