Shadow Dancer

At a Los Angeles strip club, provocative Narina is the undisputed star. But when Narina and her friend, Dee, are performing a daringly erotic routine, the lights go out and Dee is stabbed to death. All the evidence points to Narina, and Narina herself feels she may be guilty because of her own dark secret: she has killed before.

Directed by Stanley Yung, Stanley Lee, Shadow Dancer leans on a strong ensemble — Gabriella Hall, Robert Donavan, Ron Johnson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1997.
