I am trying to locate a movie I watched in the early 60’s on an afternoon movie show out of Indianapolis called Frances Farmer Presents. The movie is about a teen gang member on trial for murder and the gang is trying to intimidate the prosecution main witness to persuade him not to testify. I don’t remember who was in the cast, but I remember the gang leader had a white Jaguar XK-150. I also remember one of his lines in the movie was “Get the Jag ready”. This movie was a black and white film produced probably sometime in the late fifties going by the Jaguar that was featured in it. I hope someone can help me identify this film
Thank you

Take a look at 13 WEST STREET- (1962) with Alan Ladd and Michael Callan, It's on DVD as a single and as an Alan Ladd Triple feature. And it's on YouTube.

I did check that one and it isn’t it. The movie I’m remembering the main character is an eyewitness to a street gang murder. There was many other people who saw it but refused to say anything. This guy and his family are terrorized by the gang to stop him from testifying against the killer. I think the gang is also into car theft. The Jag is one of their hot cars.

Perhaps it is Key Witness from 1960.
You may be right. After watching several clips from this movie on YouTube, I do believe this is the film I remember. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be available on any form of home video. Thanks. I was thinking the main star was Ray Milland, or Dana Andrews. But after seeing several clips, I think I may have been getting it confused with “Hot Rods to Hell” with Dana Andrews. I like the old young hoodlum films, Rebel, Blackboard, etc.
