CROOKED CAR DEALERS & JOI LANSING IN THE "CITY OF CARS"...LOS ANGELES
27 August 2021
Not a Teen-Ager or Rock n' Roller in Sight in this Mid 1950's B-Movie that is Pretty Pedestrian.

Although Joi Lansing is Pretty and quite a Sight Lighting Up the Screen with a Sculpted Goddess Appeal.

But the Movie is Rather Dull when Joi is Off-Screen although the B-Actors do a Good Job with the Go-Nowhere, Predictable Script.

Cars Relentlessly Role in and out of the Screen and some L. A. Locations get a Nod.

The Story Includes an Episode of Adultery, but is Quickly Forgiven,

The Climax aboard a Roller Coaster was Fast becoming a Cliche at the Time.

But it Looks Well Staged and Adds a bit of a Thrill-Ride (ironic it's not a car) to the Conclusion.

The only Other Thrill in the Film is Ogling Joi Lansing, whose Career went Absolutely Nowhere.

Her most Famous/Infamous Film is "Hillbillies in a Haunted House" (1967), but the Stunning Ms. Lansing did do a Lot of TV.

She Made most of Her Money Modeling.
