Southside 11000 is a 1950 semidocumentarystyle film noir directed by Boris Ingster and featuring Don DeFore, Andrea King, George Tobias and Gerald Mohr as the offscreen narrator.

The final fighttothedeath scene was filmed aboard Los Angeles Angels Flight, a cablecar service hangingfeet above the ground.Film critic Craig Butler of Allmovie wrote, Southside 11000 is a good pseudonoir film told in pseudodocumentary fashion, but it also must register as a bit of a disappointment. Its functional and all the parts fit together smoothly, making it run like a fairly welloiled machine but it lacks real spark. Given director Boris Ingsters impressive work on the seminal Stranger on the Third Floor, one expects something a bit more unusual or off the beaten path or at least distinctive. Instead, Southside looks like it could have been the work of any competent director. The New York Times wrote, In the cinemas library of routine gangster fiction, Southside 11000 merits a comfortable middleclass rating being neither especially exciting nor particularly dull. Michael Barrett of PopMatters rated it 410 stars and called it an unnecessary and forgettable entry in the genre. ........
