Howard W. Koch’s The Girl in Black Stockings, with a screenplay by Richard Landau and Peter Godfrey, features Lex Barker, Anne Bancroft, Mamie Van Doren, Ron Randell, John Dehner, and Marie Windsor among its cast. Les Baxter handled the music, and William Margulies was responsible for the cinematography. The story begins when a young woman is discovered dead in a Utah hotel room, instantly making everyone present a potential suspect. The people involved are just awful—truly unpleasant individuals! This film embodies what you’d expect from a low-budget drive-in movie: strange and captivating. At its heart, it's a conventional murder mystery, similar to Ten Little Indians but with a peculiar feel. She really knew how to work that dance floor! The performances come from a large group of actors, and the characters are either eccentric or seem questionable. Some lines delivered in the script are genuinely hilarious and have a strong noir influence; there's also an abundance of smoking used to enhance that noir atmosphere. I’ll need to increase taxes just so we can build a place to put bodies! The acting is inconsistent, with Barker—yes, Tarzan himself—giving a truly terrible performance, while others seem to be putting on too much drama. However, the varying quality of the performances actually contributes to the overall sense of Utah weirdness, which is amplified by the swirling, Gothic-style music. It’s bizarre and silly, cheesy but also sharp; it's an enjoyable film to watch. And then there’s Van Doren, who I think must have had the widest mouth of anyone around in the 1950s. It earns a solid 7/10.
