Cheap & Bleak
27 June 2021
Dashed off with some aplomb by Fred F. Sears. It has the production values of a forties quickie or a couple of tv episodes but a much bleaker ambiance; the exteriors shot by Lester White in bleached sunlight but frequently noirishly angled.

A blonde Audrey Totter and Jeff Donnell are wasted as tarts with hearts; the most interesting female character being an actress calling herself 'Charita', playing the sort of scheming, double-crossing squaw in pigtails Myrna Loy would have played a quarter of a century earlier.
