This movie is great. Starlet gets snuffed in the first two minutes. Alcoholic cop Lawrence Tierney was at the scene of the crime but was too boozed-up to remember what happened. He tries to piece it all together but everyone around him is a weirdo, liar, or a scuzzball. With Jayne Mansfield and John Carradine. Everybody's younger than I've ever seen them before. It's dark and fast and vicious. Killer grungy noir.
