Selfmageob This was not a good film.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

robert-temple-1 This is a very low budget B picture which is saved from being a waste of time by surprisingly good acting. The film is 98% shot in a studio with the most basic possible sets. The film did provide an opportunity for Gale Storm, aged 19, to appear in her third feature film (she started in movies only the year before). She would later become famous in America and become something of a 'national treasure' in the hit television series MY LITTLE MARGIE (1952-1955), in which she played Little Margie. Since the series ran to 126 episodes, there was no one in America who had not seen her and taken her to their hearts by the time that was over. And from 1956 to 1960 she continued to ride on her wave of national popularity with her own series, THE GALE STORM SHOW. This film featured H. B. Warner, a well-known and solid performer of the old school, as a police captain, and an extremely lively and cheerful Astrid Allwyn, who does a very good job at holding the film together and keeping us interested. She plays very well against John Archer, as there is chemistry in their jokey romance. The film is a mystery, in that several young girls from the city have disappeared, and no one can trace them. Two have been found dead, so that there is obviously something sinister going on. Whodunnit and who is doing it? That's what everyone wants to know. But it is not easy to find out. A rainy afternoon film.

bkoganbing H.B Warner a police captain and young Assistant District Attorney John Archer are working on what back in those days would be a white slavery racket. Young women theatrical hopefuls sign up for some kind of training school and then disappear.But when a body of a young woman shows up known to have gone to this 'school' it becomes a solid case of homicide and law enforcement redoubles its efforts.Astrid Allwyn a Lois Lane type reporter is covering the story, but she has a discomforting surprise awaiting here which I will not reveal. It could compromise a budding romance with Archer.This had some possibilities, but in the end it's a shoddily made independent feature.

MartinHafer "City of Missing Girls" is a B movie that strongly implies but never really says what it's talking about--enabling it to sneak into theaters despite the Production Code. That's because the film is about prostitution--but it's not explicitly stated and might be interpreted differently.The film begins with the discovery of a dead girl. It seems that the trail leads to an acting academy...which is a front for prostitution. When the police dig, they also discover that several missing girls also attended this school and so their suspicions are justly piqued.At the same time, an inquisitive reporter infiltrates the school to learn the truth. Oddly, however, she doesn't realize that her own father is deeply involved in the conspiracy--leading to a really DUMB finale. That's because after she is caught by the ringleader, her father learns about this. Now what do you think you should NOT do if you are him? I'm sure that announcing to the big evil boss "I'm gonna call the police and tell them all about the operation" is perhaps the biggest NOT TO DO thing--and that's EXACTLY what he does. Take a wild guess what happens next!! Yep, you've no doubt guessed! Overall, despite a suck-tastic ending, not a bad film and it's interesting to see because of its adult plot and decent acting. An interesting low-budget curio to say the least.

Hitchcoc This is the story of a crime boss who has a front for either white slavery or prostitution. The words are never spoken. This would have been pretty hot stuff for the time. It involves an assistant district attorney, a female reporter, and a cop who just can't retire. All in all, the chemistry is pretty good. The reporter isn't as tiresome as they usually are. She seems to have some soul and some merit. The bad guy is also pretty well conceived and presents a formidable presence. It is pretty formulaic but keeps our attention throughout. The blackmail thing is believable for the most part and the elements of the crime story are nicely balanced. The one thing that troubles me is the aftermath, dealing with the reporter's father. I won't give anything away, so see what you think of the ending scene.
