Model For Murder (1959)

An American sailor (Keith Andes) visiting London contacts the former girlfriend (Julia Arnall) of his deceased brother. But when she turns up dead, he finds himself framed for her murder. In the 1950s, Hollywood wasn't the only country churning out "B" programmers. The British did more than their fair share, often including at least one recognizable American star in the cast so that the movie would appeal to the U.S. market. As directed by Terry Bishop (who co-wrote the screenplay), as far as "B" movies go, it's inoffensive if predictable. It helps to have two appealing leads. In addition to Andes, there's the lovely Hazel Court as a fashion assistant. It might have helped if the film were shot in color as it takes place in a fashion house and the frocks and jewels might have been shown to better advantage. With Michael Gough, Patricia Jessel and George Benson.
