Out of the Fog is a UK film, released in US as Fog for a Killer. It's a story about a serial strangler of young, pretty blonde women. With typical English reserve, police focus on a recently released convict, who was not imprisoned for any violent crime, but is very defensive, surly and argumentative toward them. Because the first women is murdered soon after his release and it occurs near the house where he lives with other former inmates, in an area of heavy bushes and woods called the Flats, focus on him is not without reason. An adolescent girl finds the victim playing with her dog in the area. We see the victim's bare legs with the rest of her body hidden in the brush.
Police interview a young, shapely blonde whose mother brings her in to police station, who was grabbed by her throat and escaped in the Flats. All she contributes to the description of her attacker is that he wore a raincoat. The pretty blonde seems very unconcerned about it, "a lot of men grab me"; as it's her mother who pulls back her blouse collar to reveal marks on her neck, when police ask: "Where did he grab you?"
Chief suspect, George becomes more guilty looking after his date, pretty, prim & proper Muriel Masterson (played by blonde, buxom Mila White) leaves him at the coffee shop when he tells her he's an ex-con, then she is "strangled in the bushes" (off screen). George returns to his abode witnessed by his fellow halfway house residents in an agitated, drunk state the night of her murder.
Adding to his guilty look, he visits his beautiful, blonde, cold to him mother, who disowned him. Soon after we learn this, police persuade a pretty policewoman, played by a stunning platinum blonde Susan Travers to be the bait to catch the killer. After a slow start she finally gets George to take her out. Finally the suspense starts and she and George have drinks together. He holds her into walking in the Flats with him. She knows police a near and agrees, but we finally see thick Fog and the 2 get by police takeout in a car. As we see the 2 walk in the woods shrouded with Fog, George says he hears someone following. Police realize the 2 got by them and are also in the foggy Flats. George leaves the blonde alone and she sits down on a big rock, her shapely bare legs crossed at knees. Then we see hands grab her neck from behind. She jumps up escaping, but not for long as she struggles and scratches at the strangler who has regained his grip on her throat. He overpowers her to the ground and she stops struggling and goes limp. Then another man strikes the strangler and a fight follows in the thick fog. This draws the police to the scene where they separate the men. The police look over to the silent Susan on the ground as they begin to sort what happened. To spare you the ending, suffice to say that the 23 year old Susan Travers steels the movie. 10 years later, 33 year old Susan Travers is the final victim in Frenzy, another English film about a serial strangler of pretty women. In Frenzy's surprise ending, a bare breasted, strawberry blonde Susan is revealed strangled with a tie after an unjustly convicted man escapes prison for the many necktie murders, and the policeman who put him in jail finds him over her lifeless body. Will the parallels of the films' ending align? Watch it!
