STARK FEAR (1962). Very lurid noir with Beverly Garland (a long time favorite and lovely here) married to the world's biggest asshole, one using mental and physical cruelty to his advantage, but Bev determined to "Stand By Your Man"-the woman has some serious esteem issues! Her trying to help him ends up with dire consequences and with Hubby even sinking lower. Kind of odd, but not too bad and it also has good ol' Kenneth Tobey along being the stud muffin He usually seemed to be. **1/2
