“Man, she looked as though she’d been thrown off the crummiest freight train in the world. Yet, in spite of this, I got the impression of beauty.

—Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)

And my body laid in grave,
Ere a rusty stock o coal-black smith
My maidenhead should have.”
