Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

A brisk 76-minute running time is all that's required for this nifty thriller to take the stage, impress the audience, and exit with style.

Were it not for Nell's breaks with reality, many of the happenings in her room could have appeared in a slapstick comedy.

Takes what could have been a lurid plot and turns it into a wickedly plotted thriller that remains an overlooked high point in Monroe's storied career.

Combustible Celluloid

Jeffrey M. Anderson

A snappy little 76-minute, black-and-white item, this film noir dared to look at the dark side of Monroe's giggly sex appeal.
