The Boss, the 1956 Byron Haskin gangster crime thriller ("This is DREW PEARSON speaking: 'The Boss' is celluloid dynamite. Powerful interest, whose names would amaze you, have tried to prevent you from seeing it. I helped expose the story upon which it is based- I know this corruption did take place. I predict this picture will create the year's biggest screen sensation."; "'Judges... Hoods... The society set... Pick-up girls... The governor... I buy and sell them all!'"; "The private life of a public enemy who almost named his own president!"; "'I'm THE BOSS... I've got my finger in every vice racket. The police, Senate investigators...nobody can lay a hand on me. They call me a public enemy - but some day I'm going to name my own president. I'm THE BOSS!'"; "The screen turns a searing spotlight on the nation's least known most dangerous men..."; "They can't touch me..."; "He battered and brawled his way to the top of an empire of vice and corruption with a bare fist full of bribes and a barrage of bullets... but he couldn't get rid of the girl he picked up on the street!"; "Senate investigations come and go... but none have dared to lay a finger on this man!"; "He corrupted a city - looted a state - and almost named his own president!") starring John Payne (in the title role "as The Boss"), William Bishop, Gloria McGhee, Doe Avedon, Roy Roberts, Rhys Williams, and Gil Lamb
