"Edgar G. Ulmer was Poverty Row's poet laureate of despair." - John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal


Pretty Eden Lane earned herself a one-way ticket to the slammer for the murder of her boyfriend. But the cop escorting Eden to prison has his doubts about her guilt -- especially when Eden glances out their train window and claims she sees the dead man, very much alive. A lean, fast-paced thriller for fans who like hard-boiled detectives and hard-time dames, Murder Is My Beat boasts noir talent on both sides of the camera: director Edgar G. Ulmer of the crime mini-classic Detour, and star Barbara Payton, who sizzled as the moll in Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, co-starring James Cagney.


"Visually superb cross between the whodunit and the film noir crime thriller." - Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television


"Most of its expressionist-tinged visual flourishes are withheld until the very end, with a final twist that's legitimately thrilling." - Violet Lucca, Slant Magazine
