STRANGLER OF THE SWAMP (1946). Very very low budget, yet atmospheric PRC quickie. Accused of a crime He didn't commit, a Ferry operator is executed. Hisvghosts prowls around the (quite small) swampy area, bumping off those who wronged him as well as relatives. A new Ferry Operator-a Young woman tries to save her boyfriend, whose father was involved in the crime and a pretty decent wrap-up.
Only people I know of here are Rosemary LaPlanche (Miss California for three years running and Miss America before putting her lovely self into films) and Blake Edwards as her boyfriend. After a few roles, Blake decided to change occupations , becoming more involved in the technical side, eventually directing movies such as BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, THE PNK PANTHER, S.O.B. and VICTOR/VICTORIA and marrying Julie Andrews. ***
