The script, by Warren Douglas (adapting a novel by William Brown Hartley) has some ripe noir flourishes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Martin B @RT44235356 4d Steeple jacks was an interesting topic that formed the backdrop and watching lesser known 50's bombshell Mari Blanchard was fun. But as B movies go it was a pretty clunky script with more dead bodies then interesting writing with an ending that seemed like they just got tired of filming any more scenes.
