This movie was included in a Film Noir collection, although it only barely qualifies to the category.
Essentially, a jaded young woman learns the trade of being a photographer, after being busted in a strip joint. She uses her position to climb up, but is framed for selling a photograph of a society matron's untimely death. She didn't do it, but no one believes her because of the callous attitudes towards all things she had cultivated up to that point.
Rather than learn and repent, she tries to play her trump card, an accidental photo that implicates a reputed gangster in a murder, which ends pretty much the way you'd expect. The Hero, played by Richard Crenna, saves her at the last minute with the warning, "If slapping you around would bring you to your senses, I'd have done it myself." Domestic violence against women- SOOOOO Funny.
Much of this movie is dated, but much of it holds up despite the cheap quality.
