Portland Exposé is a 1957 American film noir directed by Harold Schuster and starring Edward Binns and Carolyn Craig.

[5] The film was inspired by crime boss Jim Elkins and the McClellan Committee's investigation into Portland's underground criminal ventures in the 1940s and 1950s, which were the subject of an extensive article published in Life magazine in March 1957.

[6] The film was distributed theatrically by Allied Artists in August 1957, though it was banned by local agencies from being screened within a 30-mile (48 km) radius of Portland.

In 1940s Portland, Oregon, tavern proprietor George Madison resides with his wife Clara and their two children, teenage Ruth and young Jimmy.

Meanwhile, syndicate thugs Larry and Joe, under orders from their boss, Phillip Jacman, are attempting to start a gang war by pitting rival pinball and gambling operations against each other.

George meets with Portland's former crime boss, who warns him that the new syndicate will expand their enterprise to include drug trafficking and prostitution.

[10] Dorothy Masters of the New York Daily News noted that the film "has more integrity than most of its genre," and praised the direction and cinematography.

[11] Hortense Morton of the San Francisco Examiner praised Binns' and Craig's performances, adding: "It sounds simple.

"[12] Myles Standish of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was less impressed by the film, deeming it "one of those quickie sensations which exposes nothing except the producer is hot after a fast buck... it is a trite B melodramatic crime plot, people obscured by actors.
