The Girl in Black Stockings 1957 6 out of 10
The description for this movie on IMDB reads " A Party girl is murdered, and everyone at a Utah motel is a suspect." This murder mystery is plodding in its pacing, but has a good pay off at the end that makes the journey worthwhile. The suspects include a weird guy in a wheelchair that owns the motel that can't move his arms or legs, a creepy dim wit drunk, a man that just arrived in town and several other mysterious characters. As the mystery unravels several more people die including the always gorgeous Mamie Van Doren. The story slowly unravels with several red herrings leading you down possible paths. The problem with many old mystery stories is that you can get stories just as good if not better in many of the detective or crime TV shows that have come since.
