Slightly Scarlet

Intriguing film noir drama (and one of the few of that genre to be shot in color) stars John Payne as Ben Grace, a hood working for a big-city crime boss (Ted de Corsia). Sent to dig up incriminating information on a reform-minded mayoral candidate, Grace falls for the politician's secretary (Rhonda Fleming), and decides to turn in his boss... if he lives that long. With Arlene Dahl, Kent Taylor; based on a James M. Cain novel. 99 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Region Free
