Girl on the Run
1954 : 1 hour 24 minutes
This video is only available with Night Flight+.
Director: Arthur J. Beckhard
synopsis
A sexy blonde leans over the shoulder of her cigar-smoking boss and purrs, “You’re such a smart guy. To me, you’re the big guy!” At which point the camera pulls back to reveal the boss is a dwarf sitting atop a table. Which is a nice way of opening any carny-noir, especially GIRL ON THE RUN, a hootchy-cootchy whodunit set entirely at a small seedy carnival where the life and death of the characters aren’t as important as periodically stopping the plot to watch a variety of carny girls stop and shake their stuff.
