Without Warning

Opening with pure noir murder, our love-killer gardener Carl Martin (Andy Williams, North by Northwest) leaves his latest fair-haired victim gaping at the ceiling in a motel room in a post-passion melee. But our killer is not a random psycho, he's a clean-cut kid with an unknown chip on his shoulder and a pair of garden shears in his hands---and a murderous lust for big-busted blonde babes out for a quick night's thrill.

Befriending a local garden shop owner's daughter, Carl boldly snares her in his lair. Scant clues keep detective Ed Binns, (12 Angry Men) busy while Carl Martin keeps pruning the blondes. With a tip of the hat and a draw of the gun, the flatfoots keep our killer hustling until he's plucked his last daisy.

Drawing on the classic inspirations of the period, Without Warning is one of the final missing pieces in the shadowy world of American film noir.
