Bloodhounds of Broadway is a 1952 Technicolor musical film based on a Damon Runyon story. It starred Mitzi Gaynor, who was then still a young starlet, along with Scott Brady, Mitzi Green, Marguerite Chapman, Michael O'Shea, Wally Vernon, George E. Stone, Charles Bronson appears, uncredited, as Charles Buchinski (as he was in the 1953 3-D film House of Wax). It was directed by Harmon Jones.
Bloodhounds of Broadway was remade, very poorly, in 1989, this time as a PBS American Playhouse special (subsequently given theatrical release) starring Matt Dillon and Madonna.
Stackerlee (Mitzi Gaynor) is a country girl who longs to be in show business. A New York bookmaker Foster (Scott Brady) is hiding out in Georgia and meets her and the inevitable happens – he goes straight and she gets her wish.
