Movie review - "The Female Jungle" (1955) **

Super low budget but it actually works in a way because it's set in a studio and shot at night... there's a surreal, nightmare quality to it. 

Lawrence Tierney is a cop investigating a crime which he might've committed because he was too drunk. There's elements of Laura - the dead girl was a model, adored by a pompous columnist (John Carradine).

Jayne Mansfield is a trampy blonde. she's fun as is Carradine and Tierney. No real leading person - it keeps changing. 

This was an early AIP release. I couldn't pick the killer.
