Screaming Mimi is a 1958 American film noir directed by Gerd Oswald and starring Anita Ekberg, Philip Carey and Gypsy Rose Lee.

In Northern California, while Virginia Wilson is taking an outside beach shower, an escaped madman from a sanitarium arrives.

Virginia ends up dancing at El Madhouse night club run by Gypsy Rose Lee.

Lee performs "Put the Blame on Mame," the classic noir theme from the 1946 film Gilda.

Richard W. Nason, film critic for The New York Times, wrote, "It is an effective film of its kind, thanks to some reflective dialogue by Robert Blees and a sense of suspense on the part of Gerd Oswald, the director.
