“Man, she looked as though shed been thrown off the crummiest freight train in the world. Yet, in spite of this, I got the impression of beauty. Not the beauty of a movie actress, mind you, or the beauty you dream about when youre with your wife. But a natural beauty. A beauty thats almost homely because its so real.”
—Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)
