Because of the popularity of TV's The Untouchables, the late fifties early sixties saw a revival of the gangster film genre. Not the stuff that Warner Brothers put out with its stable of gangster stars, but allegedly true life stories of real life gangsters.
This variation of the Dutch Schultz story is as forgettable as a good majority of the early 60's gangster films that were nothing more than rip-offs of the successful TV series "The Untouchables". Ron Foster's Larry Shaw, a not so well disguised version of Schultz, is a one-dimensional thug, seemingly in a happy marriage with Luana Anders, hiding behind the facade of respectability but really just a punk.
"The Music Box Kid" is a decent crime film. In many ways, it's a 1960s rethinking of classic gangster films like "Little Caesar" and "The Public Enemy"--with slightly different sensibilities.
