DECOY (1946)

If you like strange movies, try this. A ruthless femme fatale (Jean Gillie) does whatever is necessary to the men in her life to get hold of some stashed "dough". Part of this odd noir film involves the theme of reviving the dead, so hence there's an offbeat horror angle thrown in on the side.

I thought Gillie was terrific in her role, and there was some fun dialogue and able assistance from Sheldon Leonard and Robert Armstrong, among others. A very weird film indeed.
