Good low-budget film noir


Beverly Michaels is terrific as a sexy wandering grifter who blows into town on a cross-country bus and seduces bar owner Richard Egan with a scheme to swindle his alcoholic wife and take off to Mexico with the loot. Percy Helton has his greatest role as a weasely neighbor who has his own plans for lechery and blackmail. This is one unique noir in which you won't predict what doesn't happen. Don't miss it!

This really entertained me. It's the first time I've seen Beverly Michaels and I was impressed. I know she was in heels but she must have the tallest blonde at the time. Her big eyes were her best feature.
