Tagline: She made him become what he always wanted to be – a lover, a hero, a rich man…and a killer!
Trivia: Kim Stanley originally sought for role played by Kate Reid.
Goofs: Continuity: Before she goes to lunch with Lou, Sally cuts her hand at the oyster bar (drawing blood). But at lunch (and afterward), Sally’s hand is unbandaged and healthy. (There’s even a close-up of her hands when she examines Lou’s cigarette case.)
“Lou is a small time gangster, who thinks he used to be something big. He meets up with a younger girl, Sally, who is learning to be a croupier. Her husband turns up with drugs he has stolen from the Mafia. The husband gets Lou to sell the drugs, but is killed before Lou can give him the money. Later, the owners of the drugs turn up and threaten to kill Sally if she doesn’t return them… Written by Colin Tinto <cst@imdb.com>”
