One of Mamie Van Doren's least memorable films. The blonde bombshell is the only performer in this film showing any interest in acting. Even Brad Dexter looks bored.

A slice of 50’s film noire featuring the B-movie Marilyn Monroe, Mamie Van Doren. A mob boss is having trouble with an honest cop in New York City. So he imports a prostitute (Van Doren) to seduce the cop. But all bets are off when her sister comes to visit and is assaulted and raped by one of the boss’s henchmen. It may be set in 1959, but it has the feel of a 30s or 40s gangster flick complete with guys with tommy guns mowing down their victims on the street. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of action and far too much people standing around and talking tough. As for Mamie, her performance isn’t exactly Oscar quality, but she holds her own.

Crime boss Vince Malone (Brad Dexter) deals in

Crime boss Vince Malone (Brad Dexter) deals in various illegal activities but prostitution is his number one money maker. The only problem is vice squad member Whitey Brandon (Richard Coogan) who will stop at nothing to bring him down. Malone gets the idea of sending in a beautiful woman named Carol (Mamie Van Doren) to get Brandon kicked off the force but once off the force he finds more ways to get to the underground. VICE RAID is like many crime pictures from this era as it features the "Dragnet" type narration and a story that doesn't throw too many twists. In fact, the entire story pretty much plays out just like you'd expect it to and the lack of any real drama or tension keeps it from being much better than it could have been. The best thing about the picture is that it contains some rather frank dialogue involving teenage girls being abused by these smut magazines and the lowdown of prostitution is also talked about rather freely. The performances are another plus with Coogan doing a nice job in the role of the vice squad leader who finds himself on the wrong side of the law. I thought Coogan was quite believable in the part and made for a good heavy. Dexter was also quite good as the bad guy and we also get nice work from Barry Atwater and Frank Gerstle. This here is probably the best I've seen Van Doren, which might not be saying too much but I thought she handled her own quite well. Carol Nugent is rather memorable in the role of the sister. The biggest problem is certainly the screenplay but director Edward L. Cahn never adds any energy or life to the picture. In the end, VICE RAID is a decent crime picture but there's certainly nothing about it that makes it a must see. 1-26-14
