Vicki is a 1953 American film noir directed by Harry Horner and starring Jeanne Crain and Jean Peters.
[2] Vicki Lynn (Jean Peters) is a waitress who is transformed into a fashion model by press agent Steve Christopher (Elliott Reid).
In fact, the cop knows who the real killer is, but he is so hopelessly in love with the dead girl Vicki, who despised him, that he intends to railroad an innocent man to the electric chair.
Vicki is a remake of the 1941 film I Wake Up Screaming starring Betty Grable, Victor Mature, and Carole Landis.
He wrote:Meanwhile, the rest of the performers—Jean Peters, as the girl who gets killed; Jeanne Crain, as her misgiving sister; Mr. Reid and several more—make the best of Harry Horner's brisk direction to make it look as though they're playing a tingling film.
