Charley going after Billy is like a Chihauhau going after a Great Dane.....

I've actually downloaded and watched this movie because of your clip, so thanks! It was wonderful for what it was.

@macco360 I'm honored! Guess it was beyond a "B," but still a delight! There were so many amazing actors present! The "landlady" should have gotten a mention for her description of the room and her "Oh, I must remember to get that fixed!" comment! Methinks that Mr. Egan had a mortgage due, or otherwise would not have been a participant. Also, the lurid "Acapulco" scene is one of my favorites! Watching Richard Egan "making love" to the bottle is worth the price of admission! Glad you liked!

low budget, wouldn't you say?

[varadero1839]

@Seakyr This was somewhat lower than a “B” movie, but still fascinating! It was very ‘50s, and extremely “noir!” It also starred respected actor Richard Egan. Scenes like these just lend to its sleazy charm!

A glass of "shewwy"??? Did Percy take acting lessons from Elmer Fudd ???

[varadero1839]

@JubalCalif Percy always had that endearing little speech impediment; I think it cemented, and actually assisted him in his career as a very unique character actor. Thanks so much for your comment.

@varadero1839

Well said & well put! The late great Mr Helton was a UNIQUE talent from the Golden Age of Character Actors! Thanks for your comment too! CHEERS, mate! :-)

[RayPointer]

@JubalCalif I heard him say "Sherry, not "Sherry." Perhaps the misinterpretation was due to his grinning as he is leering at Beverly. Try saying Sherry with a wide grin on you face and see how it comes out. Probably the same.

Percy Helton was one of my all time favs; an absolute classic!

Like the stunning actresses Hazel Brooks and Dolores Moran, Beverly Michaels retired from acting when she married a movie-director.

To-day 'Wicked Woman' (1953) is at Youtube (in 9 parts') by-the-way!

@dogiehogan Hi! Thanks for both your comments! She was underrated indeed; but think she might have been hard to cast: she was pretty tall! Didn't take away from her acting though. Gonna look for another one for you; great fun and it involves serious punching!!

[dogiehogan]

With a stunning and underrated Beverly Michaels: she was too, too hot for the 50s!

[varadero1839]

@dogiehogan Ms. M could play the femme fatale forever as far as I'm concerned! Wish there were other clips available! Thanks for your comment.
