Illegal Entry is a 1949 American crime film noir directed by Frederick De Cordova starring Howard Duff, Märta Torén and George Brent.
An undercover agent (Howard Duff) attacks a Mexican border smuggling operation.
The New York Times film critic, Bosley Crowther, gave the film a mixed review, "A formidable introduction which features Attorney General Tom Clark and certain Immigration Bureau oficials who bespeak that service well does not camouflage Illegal Entry ... Howard Duff plays this hero in an acceptable rough-and-ready style and Marta Toren is attractive as the girl ... The backgrounds of southern California and Mexico are authentic enough. But the whole picture has the quality of a mechanical, oft-repeated show."
