White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd ★★ 1991

Thelma Todd was a Hollywood starlet found dead under strange circumstances in 1935. Buffs have sought a solution to the maybe-murder ever since; this treatment (based on the book “Hot Toddy” by Andy Edmunds) leaves too many loose ends for purists and isn't sufficiently gripping for the uninitiated. 95m/C VHS, DVD . Loni Anderson, Robert Davi, Paul Dooley, Lawrence Pressman; D: Paul Wendkos.
