SECRET FILE: HOLLYWOOD(1962)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
No need to talk about the plot, as the reviewer
below has covered this quite well! What I can
add is that this is a decent oldie('62) even
though there are no big names involved! It's
a taut little tale with decent actors! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
After a bar room brawl ends in the accidental
fatal shooting of a woman, a private investigator
finds himself barred from doing any further
business. Soon he finds himself in debt and
with gangsters hovering about looking for
their money, so he decides to accept a sleazy
job taking incriminating photos of celebrities
for a Hollywood gossip rag. Before long he
comes to realise that his new work is being
used as leverage for blackmail and even
worse events follow.
Secret File: Hollywood does have a half-way
interesting premise for a movie and one which
remains pretty topical today given the public's
continual obsession with gossip magazines and
celebrity shenanigans. Despite the promise in
the set-up, the film itself is only okay at
best though. It's not terribly exciting and
it sort of drags despite its short running
time. - Red-Barracuda
