Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })I Wake Up Screaming (also known as Hot Spot) is a 1941 Film Noir directed by H. Bruce Humberstone, starring Betty Grable, Victor Mature, and Carole Landis.The film opens after the murder of Vicky Lynn (Landis), an aspiring actress. The prime suspect is Frankie Christopher (Mature), a promoter who discovered Vicky waiting tables, groomed her for stardom, but was disappointed when Vicky accepted a movie contract and told Christopher she was leaving him. Vicky's sister, plucky stenographer Jill (Grable) doesn't believe that Frankie killed her sister—but that may be because she's in love with him. With an intimidating detective, Inspector Cornell (Laird Cregar), determined to pin the murder on Christopher, Christopher and Jill have to find out who did it themselves.I Wake Up Screaming was a Playing Against Type role for Grable, or at least a playing-against-genre role. This murder mystery film noir was unlike almost all of Grable's other films, which were light comedies where she sang and danced.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A remake titled Vicki was released twelve years later.

Chiaroscuro: Smoky mood lighting in several scenes, like Jill's encounter with Cornell in the apartment, or the smoke-filled room Frankie's being interrogated in.

Bookcase Passage: Jill tricks a policemean by telling him that Frankie has escaped through the bedroom door. The cop is trying to force the bedroom door open when it spins around Bookcase Passage-style to reveal a Murphy bed.
