Claire is a society reporter who will do whatever she has to for a story.

Nice little film noir with all the touches of a ruthless Character thrown in…
Excellent film – very exciting and they don't waste time with dragging the story out – e.g. Mr Hanniman decides on a divorce in less than a minute of finding his wife writing to another man.
Really liked this-thnks
Dang….. the girl just gets married and then tells her old boyfriend she will think about him on her honeymoon.
It held up surprisingly well. Leslie Brooks steals the show, especially toward the end. It is interesting to look at a B film like this and wonder just why it is a B film; what does it lack to make if an A film Or to put it another way, why does the combination of Billy Wilder, Raymond Chandler, Fred MacMurray, Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck make for a great movie?
Same opening music as Plan 9.
Plane pilot was trying too hard to be Humphrey Bogart. Enjoyable film.
I downloaded this
she was married to the piiot rl for 60 yrs or so after movie was made
I really like James Griffith (Al) in this! He's always so good at playing the guy who knows what's really up. lol
That last line was really cold! hahah
Thank you for sharing. I've been in the mood for a good Film Noir for a few weeks now, and this fit the bill just fine. Leslie Brooks was a looker and delivered her lines very well, great eye expression!
Very good movie! Thanks for this!☺
she was a very bad girl
42:33 Not just a murderess but a whore but…. although a lot of us don't go around murdering people like sick psychopaths, we're all prostitutes in varying ways and degrees. She reminds me of Hillary Clinton. Remember the two murdered boys in Mena, Arkansas and Vince Foster?
"Throughout every minute of our married life we were supremely happy." "The entire week, huh?" Wonderful exchange, delivered with great subtlety, unusual for a B.
She wasn't even a good newspaper woman…
Excellent movie with great actors and a quality upload! Thanks for posting.
just a side note… I have those deer on her mantle in the scene after she kills the senator Stanley and Les comes in the room.
First time seeing this Great movie.
Thanks for sharing!
This was one sick chick!
