Review of Murder by Contract (1958) by Dave R — 29 Mar 2011

Vince edwards plays a zen-like hitman who has become a star in his new found career of contract killing. then he gets a high-profile contract for a witness against a mob boss. but he finds it hard to complete the contract because it's a woman - and women are "unpredictable".

Some great dialogue in this film. it has a strange feel to it too - kind of "point blank" (1967). at least to me it does. it's not filled with the usual macho gangster types. instead it's rather philosophical.
