NOIR CITY 8: ONE GIRL'S CONFESSION / WOMEN'S PRISON
7:30
ONE GIRL'S CONFESSION
(1953, Columbia. 74 min. Scr. and dir. Hugo Haas)
In the 1950s, actor Hugo Haas became a B-movie auteur, writing, directing, and starring in a series of pulpy tales of amour fou in which a pathetic man (usually Haas himself) is tempted and tormented by a voluptuous vixen. In this edition of Haas's ongoing saga of sadomasochism, the vixen is curvaceous Cleo Moore, who carved a niche for herself as the Poor Man's Marilyn Monroe in a series of tawdry (but oh so enjoyable) sex-driven potboilers. Not on DVD . . . Yet!
9:15
WOMEN'S PRISON
(1955, Columbia. 79 min. Scr. Jack DeWitt. Dir. Lewis Seiler)
All right, it's not really noir, but who can resist a good ol' sleazy women-behind-bars saga, especially one with dishy dames like Jan Sterling, Cleo Moore, and Audrey Totter getting (wo)manhandled by a jealously berserk warden played by Ida Lupino? The setup: The state has built men's and women's prisons side by side, with only a wall keeping the genders apart. Pretty soon, more than license plates are being pounded out. A cellblock of terrific actresses have a field day tearing apart the scenery, and each other. Not on DVD . . . Yet!
