Just because it's a Ulmer's gem..., 4 May 2009

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This movie is very hard to find, even if it is an Ulmer's one. Produced by PRC company and starring Tom Neal, we can consider it as a sort of poor man's Grand Hotel, that takes place in Havana, of course.

The topic is not very interesting, a mystery mixed with romance and musical. Only the climax is really not bad. But I was very glad that the running time was only 63 minutes. That's not the best Ulmer movie ever. Far from that. But if you are a great PRC films fan, try it anyway. Or for the warm Caribbean nights atmosphere. You can also hear, in this movie, some well known songs.

A cheap movie. And a rare one. Nothing more.
