Marilyn
Marilyn (U.S. title: Roadhouse Girl) is a 1953 British second feature ('B') film noir directed by Wolf Rilla starring Sandra Dorne and Maxwell Reed. It was written by Rilla based on the play Marion by Peter Jones.
Plot
Drifter mechanic Tom Price lusts after seductive Marilyn, the young wife of ill-tempered garage owner George Saunders. Assuming (correctly) that Marilyn is fooling around with his employee, Saunders angrily confronts him. Defending himself, Tom accidentally kills his boss. Marilyn helps him to cover up the crime – the inquest verdict is "accidental death" – and Marilyn begins a new life, while also keeping Tom at a distance.
