Author: tigerpaths from de

lila leeds, the cute blonde receptionist in LADY IN THE LAKE(1947) becomes the main character in this t-men type study of pot smokers....like a government issue with a moral attached, we see a pretty dancer corrupted by the ills of a pusher and thrown into an illegal world of adult mayhem.....ending up in jail after her brother commits suicide, lila leeds turns against the weed and survives... this marilyn monroe look-alike only made eight films and was arrested with robert mitchum in 1948....she agreed to make this film as part of her payment to society.
