Here's a good one: Port of New York (1949).

A small-scale version of the Dick Powell classic, To the Ends of the Earth. Documentary-style "noir" about drug smuggling - with a young Yul Brynner (with hair!) as the villain!

Public domain movie which unfortunately has yet to be restored, but it's in passably-watchable quality. Nice location footage of NYC, including the long-gone elevated train.
