Richard Conte (The Big Combo), Dianne Foster (Gideon's Day), Larry Gates (Underworld U.S.A.), and Kathryn Grant (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) lead the cast of The Brothers Rico, a tough film noir directed by Phil Karlson (5 Against the House, Tight Spot). Eddie Rico (Conte) is a former mobster who has turned straight to run a successful laundry business. When his two brothers disappear following a hit, mafia boss 'Uncle' Sid (Gates) assures him that the Ricos are like his own family... But as Eddie attempts to track down his wayward siblings, he realises that Sid is... not the father figure he believed him to be. Based on a novel by Maigret creator Georges Simenon, The Brothers Rico prefigures The Godfather in its exploration of the tensions between familial and criminal bonds within the Mafia.
