Truth T May 2 Excellent cast with Scott Brady, Raymond Burr (always excellent, particularly as a bad guy) and lesser knowns, such as Johanna Matz and others. A somewhat trite script, but the great acting makes this movie a film noir winner. See more nick s @Nick_S 10/06/2023 Well paced, we'll acted and an intriguing story. See more 01/09/2013 Despite its lurid subject matter, a fairly exciting little film. See more 02/16/2011 This is from the forgotten Noir Collection, the second movie in a double feature. This one stars Raymond Burr (Perry Mason and Ironsides TV series actor). He is a bad guy in this movie which is a turn from usual role I've seen him play, but he did play in a number of different movies and parts and his acting has always been outstanding. This movie is about you girls being hired from all over the world to be trained and become fusion models only to end up in Mexico in a prostitution role for the rich and wealthy gentlemen who can pay for such services. Two of the young girls attempt escape only to fall back in the hands of trouble, one is later successful and falls in the arms of our trusted American Good Guy. Very enjoyable hidden movie that I doubt you would see on cable today. Its all of 4 stars See more Read all reviews
