Crime, Inc. is a 1945 American film noir crime film directed by Lew Landers starring Leo Carrillo, Tom Neal and Martha Tilton.

Production

Martin Mooney’s 1935 book Crime Incorporated—written after he served a brief jail term for protecting confidential sources—provided the germ of the screenplay and gave the film its publicity hook. PRC producer Leon Fromkess secured Mooney as associate producer to lend authenticity, while assigning veteran B-movie director Lew Landers to keep the shoot within a reported 10-day schedule and a negative cost slightly higher than PRC’s 1944 average.

Principal photography took place at PRC’s Hollywood facilities in late December 1944 and January 1945. Cinematographer James S. Brown Jr. used low-key lighting and extensive back-projection to stretch sets and create an urban atmosphere on limited sound-stage acreage.
