The Music Box Kid is a low budget 1960 gangster film directed by Edward L. Cahn, starring Ron Foster and Luana Patten.[1][2]

Plot

The "music box" is a submachine gun owned by ruthless gangster Larry Shaw (Ronald Foster) in 1920s New York. Larry is working his way up a bootlegging syndicate, but reckons without his decent wife Margaret (Luana Patten), who one day has enough of her husband's activities.

Cast

Critical reception

TV Guide wrote, "this is a formula gangster flick, with cliched situations and stereotyped characters. The direction is efficient, however, giving some polish to an otherwise standard piece. The cast gives the film a little soul as well with some spirited performances."[3]
