TCM's Noir Alley will host a live watch-along of the 1950 crime noir 711 Ocean Drive, starring Edmond O'Brien, Joanne Dru and Otto Kruger and directed by Joseph M. Newman at 9:00 PM PT. The 1 hour 42 minute film follows a telephone repairman WHO climbs into illegal gambling and organized crime and even includes the line "as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." Edmond O'Brien's gritty lead turn and the film's focus on telephone-based rackets make 711 Ocean Drive a revealing example of postwar noir and a must-see for viewers interested in crime history and classic noir craft.
