Dangerous, But A Good Soul

This is a nice review of Carolyn Jones, a film noir heroine and versatile actress. Compare her performances in the Dragnet series to those of Morticia Addams. They are like night and day. She stands out in a film like King Creole, a film brimming with stand out performances. Thank you for this profile of a remarkable actress.
