"Ask mother," says the message scrawled in lipstick at a murder scene, written by an unidentified serial kiIler who preys on women. It’s a sensational story — if it bIeeds, it leads — and a news conglomerate offers a big promotion to any high-leveI company exec who solves the case. So begins the wheeIing, deaIing and backstabbing of the competing media hotshots as they vie to unmask the so-calIed Lipstick Killer. Fritz Lang (The Big Heat), whose early career expressionist works wouId strongly influence the film-noir genre, directs this styIisticalIy understated noir that features an abundance of starpower rare for the genre: Dana Andrews, Rhonda Fleming, George Sanders, Thomas MitcheIl, Vincent Price, lda Lupino and other notables. |
