the painted smile (1962)


aka Murder Can Be Deadly.
"Live dangerously..."
Tom (Tony Wickert) on a drunken night out with the lads, is snagged by hostess Jo Lake (Liz Fraser). She hopes to roll him with the help of her boyfriend when she lures the mark home. Unfortunately when they arrive, they find her boyfriend dead. Frightened she bullies Tom into disposing of the body, but he comes to the attention of the police. With the law after him can he stay ahead of them whilst he strives to prove his innocence.
At under an hour in length, this has little chance to out stay its welcome. Not a classic by any means, but a well made quickie.
