Sam Fuller's full blown pulp melodrama is straight off the pages of dime-store crime magazines, where all women were dames and all men were heels.  His use of arty compositions and artificial dialogue prove once again that people only talk like this in his movies.  Kelly, a former prostitute, is a woman caught between two worlds controlled by men.  In Grantville, a suburb where nobody knows her and everyone is artificially decent, she is able to live a righteous life, quoting Goethe and teaching cripples to walk.  The infiltration goes smoothly until she discovers a shocking murder scene and her cover begins to unravel.  With Constance Towers, Anthony Eisley and Michael Dante.

Director Sam Fuller.  1964, 90 mins.
