Raft's screen debut was in "Queen of the Night Clubs" starring Guinan, who insisted Raft have a small role. Although Raft's scenes were cut, a "Variety" review said "...a nite club scene introduces George Raft, the hot' stepper, as the m. c. and band leader, being brought down for one of his rip-snorting hoofing specialties." Raft also appeared in stage shows supporting the film. One reviewer called him "a clever dancer". "Queen of the Night Clubs" is considered a lost film.
