MartinHafer "Vice Raid" is a very good cop film with mostly little-known actors--apart from Mamie Van Doren. It's the story about an unnamed city's vice squad--one in which much of the force is on the take to the mob. However, one cop isn't on the take and isn't afraid of the crooks--and because of that, Mr. Big has decided to ruin him. So, using some help he imported from another city, he uses Carol Hupdson (Van Doren) and the cop's own partner to lie about his to internal affairs. Next thing you know, he's off the force--and itching for revenge. And what finally helps the now ex-cop in his crusade against the gangs? Carol's little sister is the key. How exactly it all works out is for you to see for yourself.While this film lacks a huge budget and big-name stars, it makes up for it with tough dialog and a nice little story. The bottom line is that for an inexpensive noir film, it delivers the goods and is worth your time.

LeonLouisRicci This is notable for the no singing, no dancing, no wiggling outing for the usually Vivacious Mamie Van Doren. Here she is more Thespian than usual and gets to show some Acting chops. But for those looking to find sleaze and "Girlie Mag" cheesecake will be disappointed.It is a very tame and unremarkable Movie that treats its subject matter with Docu-Style blandness and never opens up to allow any real taste of the lurid backdrop that it shamelessly exploits. There is nary a scantily clad Female Form to be had.Dull and barely interesting it is one of those low-budget, trash Flicks that can't even be faithful to its picturesque Premise. It contains a Scene or two that almost approaches its intent with some sharp Violence, but for the most part it is only watchable for a good try at playing it somewhat straight for Mamie, but not much else. She does manage to don a bathing suit and a trademark shiny dress.

sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** 1950's sex kitten Mamie Van Doren does some serious acting here as call girl & model Carol Hudson in "Vice Raid" as a big city and high class call girl who's used by the local police to set up her boss mob kingpin Vince Malone, Brad Dexter, who's model agency she's working for. It's in fact fired police detective Sgt. Whitey Brandon played TV's Captain Video the now 99 year old, as of April 4, 2013, Richard Coogan whom Carol together with crooked cop Sgt. Ben Dunton, Joseph Sullivan, railroaded him out of his job. Now that were through with all the introductions of the major characters in the movie we can get down to business in how the now ex-cop Brandon turned the tables on Malone and the crime syndicate that he worked for.Going into business for himself, in the model or call girl racket, Brandon plans to put Malone out of business as well as is fellow mobsters in the syndicate. Brandon gets a big brake when Carol's kid sister Louise, Carol Nugent the then Mrs. Nick Adams, is brutally attacked and raped by one of Malone's henchmen Phil Evens, Barry Atwater. With both her and Even's boss Malone doing nothing to make Evens pay for what he did to Louise Carol then jumps ship, the crime syndicate, and joins forces with the enemy, Whitey Brandon and the NYPD, to set up not only Malone & Evens but the entire East Coast crime syndicate!***SPOILERS*** All the action is as usual in movies like this saved for last with a number of wild shootouts and gangland hits as Carol puts her life and reputation, as a gun moll, on the line by secretly having taped a major syndicate meeting with all the mob bigwigs, from Detroit Kansas City Chicago as well as New York, present. With both Carol and Brandon exposed as working undercover for the police all hell breaks loose with Malone seeing that his days as a big-shot in the syndicate are about to come to an end makes a break for it! Only for him to get machine gunned, in the back no less, by the cops who were just about to raid his high rise office.P.S The movie "Vice Raid" was the high water mark in Mamie Van Doren's acting career who soon started slipping into obscurity and ending up making director Edward Wood Jr like films like the laughable "Navy vrs the Night Monsters". And her failed and highly publicized seven month engagement to baseball's Baltimoe Oriels pitcher the almost always, even when pitching a no-hitter, drunk and womanizing Bo Bolinsky didn't help it either.

gavin6942 A vice detective goes up against a call girl (Mamie VanDoren) and loses in court. But once unemployed, the cop starts handling investigations his own way.I really liked this film. As a historian who focuses on organized crime, I liked the idea of the "octopus" and "syndicate" without the film having to say Mafia or resorting to Italian-American stereotypes. While the Mafia probably was the dominant force at this time (the 1960s), they were hardly alone.The subject matter was also handled really well. Although the story centers on prostitution, it was done in a clean manner -- no sex, no nudity, no vulgar language. There were some slinky outfits, but nothing racy. Today, I doubt they could make this film without plenty of sex in it, and I much prefer this version. I liked it even more because of the narration.
