Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Cheaply made movie, and even cheaper DVD.
This film is worth viewing for two reasons - Steve Cochran and Robert Strauss. They are both as good as it gets. But you would have to be as big a fan of Steve Cochran as I to make this product worth even its extremely low price.
The film is choppy with lines and distortions in some places. The story doesn't hold together very well, and, as pointed out by another reviewer, the obviously Italian Lita Milan plays a character named "Teresa Porter," and Austrian born and accented Celia Lovsky ... Read More
Rating: - "He's been having you tailed, blueprinting every move you've made...he's ordered you rubbed out."
From Sony's Gangsters Guns & Floozies Crime Collection come comes an interesting, albeit overly moralistic, look at the life and times of `the world's most notorious crime boss' in the film I, Mobster (1958), based on a novel by Joseph Hilton Smyth, adapted for the screen by Steve Fisher ("Peter Gunn", "Cannon", "Barnaby Jones"), and co-producer and directed by Roger Corman (It Conquered the World, Attack of the Crab Monsters, Machine-Gun Kelly). The film stars Steve Cochran (The Damned Don't ... Read More
Rating:  - "Sometimes you have to kill to live."
Roger Corman's low-budget film noir "I, Mobster" is the fast-paced tale of the rise and fall of gangster Joe Sante (Steve Cochran). Having got his start as a street-wise kid doing errands for local bookies, he quickly works his way up the ladder, selling dope and collecting debts. When Joe gets a welcome-home party after serving his first stretch in prison, he leaves for a few minutes and kills Maurice Cerrago and thus carries out his first contract "hit". The party provides his with the perfect alibi, ... Read More
Rating: - low-budget gem of a gangster movie
Brooding hunk Steve Cochran literally has to fight the women off after his steady climb up the mob corporate ladder. He's all business until his longtime groupie BEGS to be his "moll." They enjoy life for a while until he is rubbed out. A nice clear-headed little film which will really appeal to fans of "The Sopranos" and "Donnie Brasco." Steve Cochran has got it, and Roger Corman knows how to showcase it!
Rating: - Pushing the envelope of "B-ness"
Roger Corman pushes the envelope of "B-ness" with this B-movie detailing the rise and fall of a small-time gangster (played by Steve Cochran, contender in the Elvis-lookalike contest and winner of the hair-grease semifinals). The casting is riotous, with his supposedly Italian immigrant parents played by two oldsters who speak with Austrian-German accents, and a girfriend who speaks with an Italian accent and has a WASP name. Robert Strauss, famous Jewish comedian, plays a vicious Italian ... Read More
