I Wake Up Screaming

In this classic film noir, a determined detective is driven to solve a high-profile murder case, but his motives are questioned as he focuses on a suspect who may not be guilty.

Frankie Christopher, a promoter, is interrogated by police about the murder of model Vicky Lynn. As he reminisces about their past, he recounts how he discovered her working as a waitress and helped her launch a successful career, but their relationship soured when she planned to leave him for Hollywood. Just as Vicky was about to depart, she was killed, and Frankie becomes convinced that Inspector Ed Cornell is determined to frame him for the crime. Desperate for help, Frankie turns to Jill, Vicky's sister, who has been distant towards him.
