7cb1d79195 As Freddie and Lugger, employees of Bovhini, are waiting in the parking lot of the Club Sirocco for Ruth Parmelee, they see a woman accost Ruth and then shoot her and speed away in a car. Bochini, who has loved Ruth, vows revenge. Mordecai Breen is devoting his life to welfare work among the city's needy, and publishes a small newspaper called "The Friend in Need," assisted by his former prize fighter friend, Happy Hogan. An advertisement headed "I'll Buy Your Life" appears in the paper and Breen decides to investigate. At the address given, the swanky Alhambra Arms apartments, Breen learns that the advertiser is Alfred Darnell, an orchestra leader and writer of detective stories. A number of girls answer the ad, but Dale Leyden, after being interviewed by Darnell and Velencia Duncan, is the successful applicant. As she leaves, Breen tells her that if she should find herself in the need of any assistance, to let him know. Dale tells her blind musician brother Philip that an uncle who formerly lived in South America has left them twenty thousand dollars. Meanwhile, back to the original story, Breen calls on his friend, Police Lieutenant Hammer, who shows Breen the evidence from the Parmelee murder: a pearl pendant from a bracelet, a piece of sequin from a woman's gown and part of a heel from an evening slipper. Dale calls on Breen, tells him her name is Mary Jones and gives him an envelope. When he is notified that Mary Jones is dead, he is to open the envelope that contains two letters. If he receives the sum of $18,000, he is to open the first letter and deliver the money to the name and address given, and destroy the second letter without opening it. If he doesn't get the money, he is to open the second letter and see that justice is done. Is Mary giving her life to take a fall for the killer of Ruth Permelee in exchange for money to provide an operation for her blind brother? Highly probable. Is the plot plausible? Highly improbable. Did Elmer Clifton direct worse films. Quite often. I'LL SELL MY LIFE is a standard detective story filmed in 1941. There's an opening murder and then a bunch of characters investigating said murder. The one twist in this, and it's not really much of one, is that the murderer is actually a murderess, so it's a gender spin on the normal story.<br/><br/>One interesting thing about this film is that it self references the detective story genre quite a bit. The main character is a journalist and one of the main supporting characters is himself a writer of detective fiction. There's a lot of plot packed into the 73 minute running time, but none of it is very interesting and it requires close attention on the part of the viewer to keep track of all the participants, which gets quite testing after a while. Needless to say there are no big names present in the cast. "I'll Sell My Life" is a low-budget B-movie with a cast of mostly unknown actors. This isn't a complaint–such films are often quite good. Unfortunately, while the film had a really great plot idea, the execution of the plot left me quite cold due to indifferent writing, acting and direction.<br/><br/>The film begins with a woman murdering another woman–though you only see part of it and aren't sure who the killer is. Soon, a famous mystery writer places a very unusual ad–that he will pay handsomely for a woman's life. What exactly does this mean? Well, whoever agrees to this arrangement will confess to the murder, get convicted and executed–and then this person's family will receive a huge check. One woman answers this ad, as she feels intensely guilty for an accident she caused in which her brother was left blinded. With this money, he could afford to get much needed surgery to restore his sight. However, a newspaper man sees the ad and decides to investigate for himself.<br/><br/>As I said, the plot was pretty good–and very creative. The problem is that the film did nothing with this decent script idea. The overall results are a bit listless and dull and SHOULD have been better.
