About Who Killed Mary Whats'ername?
A prostitute is murdered on the streets of a tough, low-income neighborhood. A diabetic retired boxer who knew her is appalled by the lack of interest shown in the case by the police or anybody else in the neighborhood, and decides to investigate the case himself.
Directed by Ernest Pintoff, Who Killed Mary Whats'ername? leans on a strong ensemble — Red Buttons, Sylvia Miles, Alice Playten — 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 1971.
