About this movie

Pretty Eden Lane earned herself a one-way ticket to the slammer for the murder of her boyfriend. But the cop escorting Eden to prison has his doubts about her guilt -- especially when Eden glances out their train window and claims she sees the dead man, very much alive. A lean, fast-paced thriller for fans who like hard-boiled detectives and hard-time dames, Murder Is My Beat boasts noir talent on both sides of the camera: director Edgar G. Ulmer of the crime mini-classic Detour, and star Barbara Payton, who sizzled as the moll in Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, co-starring James Cagney.
