Edge of the City (1957)
Axel is een doodnormale, wat naïeve jongeman, die na de dood van zijn geïdealiseerde broer het ouderlijk huis ontvlucht en zijn heil in het leger zoekt. Dit eindigt met een desillusie. Na desertie vindt hij dankzij hulp van enige maffiosi - onder valse naam - werk op een spoorwegemplacement in de New Yorkse haven.
