MURDER IS MY BEAT 1955 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

A very well made film noir from director Edgar Ulmer.

Paul Langton stars as a policeman who has to arrest the ultra sexy Barbara Payton and he soon comes to believe she is innocent. The two go on the lam and try to prove her innocence.

Robert Shayne is another detective looking for the two of them and when he finds them he decides to help them. Roy Gordon and Selena Royle, in her final film make up the rest of the fine cast.

This film is very tightly made and catches your attention right away. Ulmer knew how to work within very small budgets and get the most out of any actor or actress he worked with. Great widescreen presentation from Warner Archive. Recommended for fans of Film Noir and Barbara Payton fans, of which I am both.
