This well shot and beautifully composed murder mystery has Verna Wilson as the wonderful villainess. At times during the film you will be transfixed by her ghostly and ghastly whiteness against the black backgrounds as she postures and poses, prances and plots.

This is Sally Rand's last feature film. Although it is not really a mystery as you know early on who the bad guys are. Some great one liners and nice dialog from some engaging characters make this a very entertaining piece of cinema history.

NOTE: There was a slight sound problem on the film print during Rand's bubble dance. It only lasted a short time before returning to normal.
