Cover Girl Killer is a 1959 black and white British 'B'[1] thriller film written and directed by Terry Bishop and starring Harry H. Corbett, Felicity Young, Victor Brooks and Spencer Teakle.

Posing variously as an advertising executive and a film and TV producer, the murderer eludes capture whilst continuing to lure his victims to their deaths one by one.

Meanwhile, Spendoza (without glasses and under another alias) goes to a theatrical agent and hires someone who looks like his alter ego to further throw the police off track by turning up at the theatre for an appointment with June.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A largely unknown cast acquit themselves well as particularly Harry H. Corbett as the psychopathic killer as in a thriller presented with a certain lightness of touch, at least in the earlier stages, which makes it a less sordid piece than the plot might suggest".

[3] Kine Weekly said: "The plot's a bit theatrical and both the acting and direction are uneven, but the macabre is, nevertheless, logically punctuated with striptease, and the finale grips".

The dialogue does strike a false note every now and then, but Bishop succeeds in re-creating a world of tawdry glamour that is a far cry from the glitz of today's supermodels as a serial killer targets a magazine's pin-ups.
