Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Secret Of Deep Harbor finds Barry Kelley doing quite well in Southern California while his colleagues are barely getting by. There's a good reason for that, he's got a nice sideline smuggling gangsters across the Mexican border.But one night Grant Richards who is in charge of the smuggling kills one of the gangsters. It's an ordered hit, the man was stealing from the syndicate. But with Kelley on board now a witness to a murder that sets in motion the whole plot of this film.Really though I would think that Richards would not be wanting witnesses and that would be easy to arrange by killing him after he's in Mexico. But then we wouldn't have a story.Which is that investigative reporter Ron Foster is on the waterfront looking for confirmation about gangster smuggling and he finds it after helping Merry Anders home with her drunken father Kelley. I don't need to draw you a blueprint to figure out the rest. This is a remake of the famous Claudette Colbert classic I Cover The Waterfront and the original was so much better. This one was like a stock company from Peoria production of the original.Watch the one with Colbert.

That's the last post 1950 Edward L Cahn - or L Can't - films I missed in my collection. I now have them all, shot after 1950. Pre 50, that's another story. Especially the 40's except MAIN STREETS AFTER DARK and DANGEROUS PARTNERS. But maybe, one day, I'll get them all. Edward L Cahn, one of my B movie directors favourite.Speaking of this rare gem, that's not a masterpiece, as you can guess. A short adventure, noir, crime yarn, telling the story of smuggling and fishermen. A love story, between the lead and the old fisherman's daughter involved with gangsters, bring some soft touch in this OK little programmer. Not the Edward L Cahn's best or worst features. The usual stuff for movie buffs used to this kind of cinema.
