City of Shadows is a 1955 American crime film directed by William Witney and written by Houston Branch.

The film stars Victor McLaglen, John Baer, Kathleen Crowley, Anthony Caruso, June Vincent and Richard Reeves.

[1][2][3] Big Tim Channing is a small-time racketeer who makes a living supplying old, out-of-date slot machines to businesses.

Dan is romancing Fern Fellows, daughter of a retired judge, so that he can get at the rare law books in her father's collection.

Di Bruno and Finetti pressure Channing to resume crime, and he starts a protection racket.

In despair, Dan (who did not know that Channing was sparing him from the protection racket) decides to close his company and cancel his engagement to marry Fern.
