Wicked Woman (1953)
7/10
Okay Low Budgeter

Peroxide blonde floozy Michaels sashays into town with just enough money for rent and pretty much on the make. Being broke she decides to put her assets to work at a local tavern. The local guys behave like they've spent a lifetime on a desert island around Michaels who especially draws the admiration of hunky Egan and desperate Helton. Egan is smitten and ready to dump his alcoholic wife and will do anything for Michael's affections. Helton gets used, as usual, and eventually gets angry and resorts to blackmail, as usual. This moves along at a good pace and will keep your interest. The movie has some noirish aspects that never get fully developed due to the short duration of the film. Nevertheless there's enough tension to keep this interesting. The acting is good and I recommend to those that enjoy the noir genre.
