TIGHT ROPE
By
Accent on apprehension as Stella, accepting a Cinderella job as stand-in for a dead girl, finds the motives behind her alias not as disinterested as they seemed -- and that she will be the next victim in a series of fatal accidents. Time and again Stella escapes death until last minute intervention of the police interrupts a last killing. Smooth styling for a first dependent on atmosphere, not deduction.
