711 Ocean Drive is a 1950 American crime film noir[3] directed by Joseph M. Newman and starring Edmond O'Brien, Joanne Dru and Otto Kruger.

Granger takes control of the wire service and the racket, making him a target for Lieutenant Wright of the Los Angeles police.

East Coast mobster Larry Mason is sent by boss Carl Stephans to persuade Granger to join his syndicate.

With the help of Gail and Chippie, he taps into a phone line at a mob betting parlor in Las Vegas and pulls off a pass-post swindle, intercepting and taping race results to be rebroadcast after a two-minute delay, giving Gail and Chippie time to place substantial bets on the foregone winning horses.

With the police closing in, Granger and Gail flee to Boulder Dam, trying to cross the state line to get out of Wright's jurisdiction, but encounter a roadblock.

Gail collapses from fatigue while running, Granger is shot and apparently killed before he can find his way to the Arizona side.

In a contemporary review, New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther panned the film, writing: "Despite some considerable advertising of 711 Ocean Drive as a daring and courageous revelation of the big bookmaking and gambling syndicates, this modest Columbia melodrama ... is no more than an average crime picture with some colorful but vague details thrown in.

"[5] However, Variety wrote well of the film: "Operations of the syndicates are given a realistic touch by the screenplay, and Joseph M. Newman's direction keeps the action at a fast pace.
