История
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Miller (November 28, 1909 – April 14, 1992) was an American film director who directed such varied films as Billy the Kid (1941) with Robert Taylor and Brian Donlevy, Flying Tigers (1943) with John Wayne, and Love Happy (1949) with the Marx Brothers.
Miller directed Lonely Are the Brave (1962) with Kirk Douglas; Emanuel Levy wrote, in 2009, that it "is the most accomplished film of David Miller, who directs with eloquent feeling for landscape and attention to character." Others feel that Miller's filmic masterpiece is his 1952 Noir thriller Sudden Fear; Sudden Fear was nominated for four Academy Awards, for Best Lead Actress (Joan Crawford); Best Supporting Actor (Jack Palance); Best Costume Design (Sheila O'Brien); and Best Cinematography (Charles Lang).

Лейси - бессмертная девушка, которая периодически видит в видениях таинственного человека в черной шляпе, убивающего мужчину на улице. Впрочем, и в реальной жизни всё весьма странно, ведь чтобы жить девушке приходится поедать спинной мозг других людей, что фактически делает её каннибалом. Однако Лейси старается употреблять в пищу лишь тех, кто, по её мнению, не заслуживает жизни – различных преступников. Между тем опытный детектив из отдела по расследованию убийств Чарли Годфри озадачивается делами 12 пропавших без вести людей. А когда в полицию начинают поступать сообщения о расчлененных телах с пропавшими пальцами, Чарли начинает понимать, что это всё связано. В ближайшее время судьба столкнёт двух героев, позволив им объединить свои усилия в борьбе с городской преступностью…
