Naked Alibi
The story of a love with the law at its heels!
Directed by Jerry Hopper
Produced by Universal International Pictures
A classic film noir cat-and-mouse thriller where obsession and paranoia blur the line between hunter and hunted across a gritty border landscape.
Questioned as a murder suspect, solid (but drunk) citizen Al Willis attacks his police questioners, is beaten, and swears vengeance against them. Next night, Lieut. Parks is murdered; Willis is the only suspect in the eyes of tough Chief Conroy, who pursues him doggedly despite lack of evidence. The obsessed Conroy is dismissed from the force, but continues to harass Willis, who flees to a sleazy town on the Mexican border. Of course, Conroy follows. But which is crazy, Conroy or Willis?
