Due to the
exploitative title, this movie was also distributed under DEAD RIGHT and
NIGHT HUNT. Here is the original IF HE HOLLERS print. James Lake (Raymond
St. Jacques) has been imprisoned for the rape and murder of a white woman.
But he didn't do the crime and so, James breaks out of jail to collect
evidence and clear himself. His problems increase when another character,
Leslie Whitlock (Kevin McCarthy of 1956's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
fame), decides he wants a dead wife. Whitlock captures James and tries
to convince him to kill his wealthy wife, Ellen (Dana Wynter, also from
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers.") There's a fine supporting
cast on hand -- John Russell ("Lawman") and Arthur O'Connell
("Picnic") are here, as well as Don Megowan ("The Werewolf")
and Royal Dano ("Moon of the Wolf") and Ann Prentiss ("My
Stepmother Is an Alien.") The direction by Charles Martin is taut
and effective. Songstress Barbara McNair sings the title song, plays St.
Jacques main squeeze and has an appreciated nude scene.
