Shelly Gray's book into-moving pictures stirs up an earlier scandal-death and keeps Michael Zorn, eastern executive of Continental Films, on roller coaster swoops with the Hollywood office. Digging back into Willard Morley's too close connection with his first wife's killing leads Zorn to Shelly's quicksand logic, a free wheeling lawyer and detective, some mayhem, unsatisfied police, a libel case -- and a Shelly-swamped climax. Crippling and gay dialog dress this up.
