Jayne Mansfield only had a few years in Hollywood studio pictures before she went to England for a few. It's a crime drama set in Soho, where there's dance numbers.
Mansfield plays the dancer girlfriend of manager Leo Genn. Mansfield does a few numbers. Carl Boehm plays a journalist doing a story on the club (snore). Chris Lee is dubbed as a treacherous associate of Genn's.
Genn isn't entirely well cast - too posh, not tough enough. It needed a Stanley Baker or someone. Mansfield isn't bad - she seems like a gal who's been around.
Lee looks the part though I hate they dubbed his lovely voice.
This feels like at heart it's a 60 minute film but they've added all these different musical numbers. Which has novelty, I admit.
There's some intense moments in this - an attempted rape scene at the end of a young Barbara Windsor by a crook.
This is a decent Soho thriller. Mansfield has a decent part. She's quite touching at the end, shopping Genn tot ehc ops.
