The Monk

Directed by George McCowan

Starring George Maharis, Janet Leigh

An independent guy like Gus Monk is always attractive. He attracts women, money, excitement...and danger.

Underworld attorney Leo Barnes hires Gus Monk to safeguard a valuable envelope containing information on a mobster. Monk refuses — until he meets Mrs. Barnes and jumps on a merry-go-round of viciousness and murder.
