Owen Marks, parked at Lovers' Loop with girlfriend Liz Taggart, surprises a peeping Tom, who knocks him out and kidnaps Liz. The police leap into action when they learn the victim is a cop's daughter. Kidnapper Harold Loftus, the unhinged product of a smothering mother, makes ineffectual advances toward Liz, who staves him off as the police close in, hindered as much as helped by her overprotective father Capt. Dan Taggart.

Review :

An 18yo Natalie Wood and ... um not much else.

OK, first things first. This isn't a good film, no insights on the meaning of life here, not even a good proper noir ending. But with Raymond Burr playing a psychopathic "Lenny-type" villain who kidnaps a fetching young Natalie Wood, who could possibly not recommend this film? Filmed a year after her role in "Rebel Without a Cause" the alluring 18yo Wood is so at the top of her game that she reportedly coaxed the homosexual Burr into her bed during filming of this crime drama. Wood, whose drowning off Catalina Island back in 1981 was shrouded in such suspicion that the LA Coroner's Office was still investigating the case in 2013! Shame they don't make proper Noirs anymore, as the story of her final wild weekend would probably make a pretty good one. If Natalie isn't your cup of tea, feel free to pass on this film.
