I Wake Up Screaming
Synopsis: Frankie Christopher is a sports promoter who's in the hot seat, relentlessly grilled by a ruthless detective after the murder of a fashion model he made famous. Weighing even more heavily against him is the fact that he's in love with the dead girl's sister. But Frankie's not the only suspect in this taut expose of New York's cafe society. The detective also obsessively pursues Frankie's partner, a gossip columnist, and a hotel night clerk.
Special Features:
- Audio commentary by film noir historian Eddie Muller
