As I was typing this request, my cousin (who is much more of a connoisseur of movies than I am) emailed me the answer.  The name of the movie is "Chicago Confidential".

Solved / Gangster Film From the 40's or...
Last post by DrParker - April 11, 2026, 09:59:09 PM
I am looking for the name of a Gangster Film from the 40's or 50's that I believe was set in Chicago. In this movie, towards the end, the police (or FBI) go to a club in which an impressionist is used to give signals to the other gangsters as to how they are to proceed with their (dastardly) deeds.  I remember the ending involves a shootout at an airport in which several women were being kidnapped for the purpose of prostitution.

All help is appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Tonight's Stinker
The Sea God (1930)
https://youtu.be/F73oGXfnplU?si=rW1_snRFTnNRbE6P

Opens by zooming in on a fat guy's rear end in tight white pants... Won't get that image outa my head any time soon!!!
So anyway, A down on his luck smuggler has just lost all his money in a craps game to a landowner... The sailor & his partner go outside for angry banter... He's still fuming over a girl who left him for the landowner, who can't stop gloating.... The landowner overhears the banter, & after a cocky exchange, the sailor bets his boat in a smuggling race....
The race starts of in the sailor's favor, but goes south when he has to stop to rescue a man adrift in a canoe.... The sailor loses his boat, & makes some hurtful exchange with the girl....
The castaway, who's been out in the sun too long, catches up to the sailor & gives him some pearls, & tells him where he got them....
The sailor is able to buy his boat back, but the landowner catches on.... Blah, blah blah...
So anyway, they find the island, cannibals kill the crew, but spare the girl & the first mate, then the sailor shows up in his diving suit, & the cannibals think he's a god.... The landowner, who's in a sour mood finds them & blah, blah, blah....

Really drags out, even for the short runtime, & pretty predictable.....

"Watch Out, We're Mad!" (1974)

Spanish/Italian action comedy featuring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer as race car drivers who win a cool new dune buggy as a prize in a road rally. When the buggy is destroyed by thugs working for a gangster who also plans to bulldoze Bud & Terence's favorite amusement park hangout to build a skyscraper, the boys put a stop to it by fighting their way through a seemingly endless supply of henchmen.
The Hill & Spencer team were virtually unknown in the US but were massive stars in Europe (where they made 18 films together during the 70s and 80s!). This loud, silly, slapsticky action comedy is considered one of their "best" movies, and though it was good for a few occasional chuckles, I don't know if I'd bother to seek out any more of the duo's work.

Quote from: indianasmith on March 28, 2026, 11:16:31 PMTHEY WILL KILL YOU (2026) - Saw this one in the theater tonight with my daughter.  A well done dark comedy with lots of gore and some fun twists along the way, slightly reminiscent of READY OR NOT but not a copycat. A young woman, Asia, recently released from prison, tries to track down her younger sister whom she'd abandoned. The sister, Maria, was last reported working at a super-private, ritzy hotel called the Virgil, so  Asia gets a job there - only to find the hotel's exclusive guests are a bunch of immortal, unkillable, devil-worshiping cannibals.  Mayhem ensues.  Deserves an Oscar nod for "Best use of a severed pig head!"  4.5/5
Just got back from watching this movie.  I highly recommend it.  It's got very strong Sam Raimi vibes to it and perhaps the most competent and useful protagonist I've seen in a horror movie.
