A loose remake of I Wake Up Screaming from 1953. Told in flashback, we have the story of a woman, played by Jean Peters, plucked from a diner to become the toast of Broadway but when she's found murdered in her apartment, all eyes dart to the men in her life who facilitated her rise w/a particular hellbent cop, played by Richard Boone, out to get his man no matter how hard he protests. Peters' sister, played by Jeanne Crain, doesn't know who to believe & Boone's persistence to nab the killer starts to scare her even though the killer may be right under her nose. Pretty hard to screw up a story like this so given the lesser known actors on display; Aaron Spelling (?) as a hotel employee who knew Peters & Max Showalter as a journalist still manage to make a mark & make this enterprise an effortless time killer.
