Ask mother says the message scrawled in lipstick at a murder scene by an unknown seriaI killer who preys on women. lt's a sensational story - if it bleeds, it leads - and a news conglomerate offers a big promotion to the high-level company exec who soIves the case. So begins the wheeling, dealing and backstabbing of the competing media hotshots as they vie to unmask the so-caIled Lipstick KiIler. Fritz Lang (The Big Heat), whose early-career expressionist works wouId strongIy infIuence the fiIm-noir genre, directs this styIisticaIly understated noir that features an abundance of starpower rare for the genre: Dana Andrews, Rhonda FIeming, George Sanders, Thomas Mitchell, Vincent Price, Ida Lupino and other notables. |
