''Slaughter on Tenth Avenue'' is a 1957 film directed by Arnold Laven. It stars Richard Egan and Jan Sterling.〔http://allmovie.com/work/slaughter-on-tenth-avenue-110559〕 The film is a story of crime on New York's waterfront. It is based on the book ''The Man Who Rocked the Boat'', an autobiography by William Keating, played by Egan in the film. The book chronicles Keating's experiences as an assistant district attorney and as counsel to the New York City Anti-crime Committee. In the portion of the book depicted in the film, Keating pursued a murder prosecution for a waterfront hit despite widespread corruption that stretched all the way into the district attorney's office. The title comes from the Richard Rodgers ballet of the same name, which was featured in the 1936 play ''On Your Toes'', but the plot line of the movie had no relation to the play. The film is one of the first major roles performed by Walter Matthau before he became a star. Here he plays a waterfront gang boss. ==Cast== *Richard Egan as William Keating *Jan Sterling as Madge Pitts *Dan Duryea as John Jacob Masters *Julie Adams as Daisy Pauly *Walter Matthau as Al Dahlke *Charles McGraw as Lt.
