Something Weird Dance Hall Racket

Before LENNY BRUCE hit his stride as a stand-up comic, he exploded in several directions including writing and acting in low-brow movies like Dream Follies and Dance Hall Racket (a.k.a. Shame Shanty). Produced by GEORGE WEISS (White Slaves of Chinatown) and directed by PHIL TUCKER (Robot Monster), the film looks at the sleazy doings in crime boss Umberto Scalli's waterfront dime-a-dance emporium. As a Tommy Udo-wannabe known alternately as "Vincent" and "Vinnie," Lenny plays Scalli's hopped-up, switchblade-flicking enforcer. His real-life stripper wife, HONEY HARLOWE, plays his girlfriend, Rose, and the comedian's mom, SALLY MARR, is here too as Maxine, a gal who's seen it all. - Something Weird

That was her in this clip. The pretty one with the long red hair that was calling for "Lenny".

Lenny's dying pose on the sidewalk eerily looks like his own in real life.
