Girl On The Run - 1958 - 6/10
The canary sings her last number, unaware that in five minutes she will witness a murder.
Subsequently, become the target of a persistent hitman.
Them’s the breaks, blondie.
So, she dyes her hair, relocates, and starts singing under a new identity, in a new club.
Yet the hitman, a jive hustling, cool-as-hell Edd Byrnes, tracks her down.
Middling Noir would become the pilot for the popular series “77 Sunset Strip”.
Most of the elements are here: Efrem Zimbalest, Jazz music, shady officials, the trendy vibe.
