Roaring City is a 1951 American crime film produced and directed by William Berke and starring Hugh Beaumont, Edward Brophy and Richard Travis.[1] It was distributed by the independent Lippert Pictures as a second feature[2] intended for television as well as the cinema.[3]

The film is closely related to the 1951 film Pier 23, which was filmed simultaneously with the same director, producers and cast, and with similar opening sequences. The two films were released at the same time, both as second features. Although Lipper Pictures announced before production that the project originally titled Pier 23 was to be retitled as Roaring City,[4] the films are separate and have different overall plots.

Plot

A private detective investigates a boxer's sudden death in San Francisco.
