Eglima Sta Paraskinia - 1960 - 6/10
AKA - Murder Backstage // Εγκλημα στα Παρασκήνια

Fun Greek Noir. Popular club beauty is killed in her dressing room.
Knife still inside, doors and windows locked. Aha, locked room mystery!
Police interrogate performers and employees, jealous rivals and stage door johnnys.
Most of the actual investigating, however, comes from a newspaper owner.
Nose for a scandal, or attempting to cover something up?
He bustles from swank nightclubs to strip joints to tenements, many still rubble after Nazi occupation.
Fast paced, photography full Noir, though dialogue is more light and playful.

Oh, and lest any Greek readers grow anxious, the strip dancer is an Italian import, since no good Greek girl would ever take her clothes off with the lights on. Perish the thought!
