Girl in the Headlines (AKA The Model Girl Murder Case ) is a 1963 British detective film directed by Michael Truman and starring Ian Hendry,[1] Ronald Fraser, Jeremy Brett and Jane Asher.[2] It is based on the novel 'The Nose on my Face' by actor Laurence Payne.[3]

Plot

Inspector Birkett and Sergeant Saunders are called in to investigate the murder of a glamorous model. It becomes apparent the girl had led a chequered life and that her acquaintances included drug dealers. Jordan Barker and Hammond Barker are reluctant to help but when the police finally make an arrest, another murder occurs in a seedy Soho Jazz café. But are the two murders connected? [4]

Cast

Critical reception

'Britmovie' called the film a "cleverly plotted thriller directed by ex-Ealing editor/producer Michael Truman...Hendry’s committed performance and Fraser’s underplayed support dominate the film as the two policemen on the case." [3]
