(1962) Liz Fraser, Kenneth Griffith, Peter Reynolds, Tony Wickert, David Hemmings, Nanette Newman. Two small-time blackmail artists (a man and woman) run afoul of a brutal gangster, who stabs the man to death in his apartment as a warning for others to stay clear of his territory. But when the woman shows up with an intended victim (a drunken student), the body is discovered and the student, in a drunken stupor, agrees to dispose of it. Things get dicey when the cops give chase to the students car, within which the body is hidden. The student, after abandoning his car, ends up wanted by the cops and in the cross-hairs of the gangster, who wants to silence him for good! Aka The Painted Smile. 16mm.
