Dubbed version of a German film starring Belinda Lee as a real life prostitute who was murdered. This doesn't show whodunnit - that's a POV killing from someone she knows. Lee looks like a drag queen.
This is fairly hard going. Jazz on the soundtrack. Dubbing. Black and white photography. Trashy milieu but because it was 1959 you don't even see that much.
Most memorable bits are the murder, and also where what seems to be a butch lesbian gives Lee a masseuse and seems into her. They don't go through with it - ten years too early.
Not a very good movie. Unpleasant - she has to be punished. Unmemorable men paw at her - bald old fat ones, a young guy she seems to love. No real insight.
