If you ever wanted to see Jayne Mansfield make out with Lawrence Tierney this is the movie for you. Mansfield is featured here in her first movie, Tierney, best known to Tarantino fans as Joe from RESERVOIR DOGS, plays a heavy drinking detective(meanwhile in real life he was a heavy drinking actor) and as a bonus you get John Carradine as a classy fellow who wears an ascot. It's mainly for these three that this movie is worth checking out and they all do a pretty decent job but overall it's a pretty standard film-noir-ish murder mystery about a guy running around strangling gals. Luckily it's only a little over an hour so you don't have to waste too much time with it. I was also a little disappointed that this wasn't a women-in-prison picture since the title seems custom made for that kind of sleazy flick.
