I really enjoyed seeing this feature film for the first time last week.

Richard Conte made "The Sleeping City" in 1950 while under contract for Universal-International. It was really good in my opinion.

Underpaid interns at New York's Bellevue Hospital (the new doctors are paid the princely sum of $12.50 per week plus room and board at the hospital) are preyed upon drug dealers eager to lay their hands upon some of "the white stuff" without prescriptions.

The Mayor of New York was not amused. To placate City Hall, Conte provided an introduction that stressed that the story was fictional.
