Dixie Ray: Hollywood Star

Private dick Nick Popodopolis (John Leslie) has a problem: he's got the corpse of a beautiful woman (Juliet Anderson) on the floor of his office. As he explains his case to an alcoholic lieutenant (Cameron Mitchell), a strange story of blackmail, mystery, and murder centering around the enigmatic movie star Dixie Ray (Lisa DeLeeuw) begins to unfurl.

A loving—and surprisingly potent—homage to classic hardboiled film noir, Antholy Spinelli's lavishly produced Dixie Ray: Hollywood Star ranks as one of the last truly ambitious X-rated movies ever made.

2K restoration by Vinegar Syndrome.

Also available in its alternate R-rated cut as It's Called Murder, Baby!
