Vice Raid (1959) is a crime potboiler which tries to be as lurid as possible given the constraints of the 50s. The reason to see it is Mamie van Doren playing a bad girl with the body of a goddess and the morals of an alley cat. She's fabulous.

A ★★★★ review of High School Confidential! (1958)

Classic juvenile delinquent exploitation movie that tries to pass itself off as a drug scare film. Tony (Russ Tamblyn, "Twin Peaks") is the new kid at school, an orphan who flunked a few times. He lives with his "aunt" (Mamie Van Doren!!!) who has the hots for him. Tony, however, is more interested in teacher Miss Williams (Jan Sterling, ACE IN THE HOLE). He eventually winds up with supposedly good girl Joan (Diane Jergens), who is a pothead. Tony plans to takeover the high school weed racket from J.I. (John Drew Barrymore, WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS). Tony wants more than

A ★★★½ review of Guns Girls and Gangsters (1959)

Gerald Mohr is an ex-con with the perfect plan to hit a casino's armored car. Mamie Van Doren is the key to it all, being both the estranged wife of Mohr's cellmate AND the girlfriend of a money launderer (Grant Richards). Mohr and Richards enter a partnership while Mamie is coerced into doing reconnaissance for them at a motel/gas station. Mamie befriends the nice couple that runs the place and finds herself falling for Mohr. It looks like Mohr will pull off the job... until Mamie's husband (Lee Van Cleef) goes nuts and breaks outta prison. The guy only had

The Girl in Black Stockings. (1957) is part of a three-movie set of steamy crime potboilers featuring legendary blonde bombshell Mamie van Doren although she actually plays only a supporting rôle in this particular movie.

There's a psycho killer on the loose, and plenty of potential psychos among the suspects.

A solid murder mystery with very faint noir tinges.
