Female Jungle, Kathleen Crowley, Lawrence Tierney, Jayne Mansfield, 1956.

A cop (Tierney) is suspected of killing a gorgeous film star. Since he was extremely drunk at the time, even he suspects that he did it.

The investigation leads him to Candy, an artist’s mistress (Mansfield), as well as to a slimy Laura-type gossip columnist (John Carradine) who spent time with the woman that night and becomes the main suspect. But he also becomes a red herring when a third man is finally found to be the real killer.
