Just "B" Claws



The victims are females alone
Slain by sicko or feline unknown
Did Lewton regret
This brutal noire bête?
Would a flick this extreme Val disown?

Apparently producer Val Lewton and director Tourneur both said that they felt the film was an artistic failure. Unlike their previous collaborations, it was not a financial success. The serial murder plot and narrative structure which shifts from victim to victim came from the source novel Black Alibi by Cornell Woolrich.
