Production

Pegasus Productions was a company headed by Max Gifford which announced they were going to make three films. One of these was The Slasher based on a play by Robert Abel. Abel had been a prize fighter for four years.[2] He had written a play The Big Shot which was produced on stage in 1951, directed by Edmund Angelo.[3]

Abel then wrote The Slasher and Angelo signed to direct. His wife Ann Richards played the female lead.[4] It was Richards' first film in three years.[5] It was then known as Decisions.[6]

Filming started 1 December 1951 at Republic Studios. Filming went for eleven days.[7]

Pegagus' second production was to be You're Not So Dangerous and was to star Richards as a social worker confused for a gangster's moll.[8]
