This is a BAD movie. It's preposterous. Its promoters portray it as some kind of lost gem, but in reality, it's little known because it was a box office failure and, as I said, bad. It's not exactly noir, as the only femme fatale is the murder victim, who is offed within the first few minutes of the film. People in this movie behave in ways no real people do, and do things they would never be allowed to in the real world. The acting ranges from mediocre (the two leads and secondary) to embarrassing (the murder victim). Scenes shift from the dark of night to the bright of day within minutes; time seems to have no meaning. I'm not detailing any of the preposterous plot points, in order to avoid spoilers, but if you're sufficiently forewarned to skip this film, some of the other reviews will clue you in. (By the way, although the film is inane, I didn't find it boring. That would be worth a couple of stars, if the whole thing wasn't so ludicrous. It could have made a great farce.)
