Crime Against Joe - 1956 - 5/10
Our hero is an unsuccessful (untalented) artist.
A war veteran, he still lives with Mom, who supports her unemployed son.
Like his deceased father, when he is frustrated – say with his artistic efforts – he hits the booze and the bars.
For whatever reason, sexy females linger near him.
Frances (Julie London), Irene and Christine.
Not that he remembers, since ole Joe was on a drunken bender.
Shoot, he doesn’t even know how Irene got murdered afterward.
Middling Noir, cheap looking, decent acting, smoky tune by Alika Louis.
Don’t hunt for it, but if this airs late night, it’s watchable.
