Without Warning! (1952)

aka: The Story Without A Name

Opening with pure noir murder, our love-killer gardener, Carl Martin (Adam Williams, North By Northwest), leaves his latest fair-haired victim gaping at the ceiling in a motel room in a post-passion melee. But our killer is not a random psycho, he’s a clean-cut kid with an unknown chip on his shoulder and a pair of garden shears in his hands—and a murderous lust for big-busted blonde babes out for a quick night’s thrill. Befriending a local garden shop owner’s daughter, Carl boldly snares her in his lair. Scant clues keep Lt. Pete Hamilton (Ed Binns, 12 Angry Men) busy while Carl keeps pruning the blondes. With a tip of the hat and a draw of the gun, the flatfoots keep our killer hustling until he’s plucked his last daisy. Also stars Meg Randall. Also with Gene Wood as the off-screen narrator.
