(1956, aka Cloak without Dagger) Philip Friend, Mary Mackenzie, Leslie Dwyer, Allan Cuthbertson, John Heller, Chin Yu, Bill Nagy. Pretty Mary Mackenzie (who died just ten years later) is a fashion reporter who stumbles upon a murder. In a manner very worthy of an older Nancy Drew, she searches for answers and comes across all kinds of twists and turns, putting herself in peril at almost every turn. She soon enlists the help of a painstakingly thorough detective. This espionage-mystery has plenty going on in its 69-minute runtime, with everything from a Chinese femme fatale to a conspiracy involving nuclear weapons. From 16mm.
