A great premise that is totally wasted, 19 May 2007
2/10
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

The film begins with a roaring fire and June Lockhart is assumed dead. However, she shows up at her own funeral and wonders WHO they just buried. If this sounds like a great beginning to a Film Noir flick, you'd be right. But, unfortunately, from this wonderful beginning, the entire film just crumbles into a boring mess. Instead of Noir (which the DVD box claimed it was), the film actually tried to be a bit of a comedy--with some very broad humor involving Lockhart's husband getting punched several times by a dim-witted boxer. The film just failed at every turn to take a promising beginning and make something exciting out of it. Certainly placing BAD comedy into the film seemed totally inappropriate and stupid. In fact, the film also featured (along with an awful script) some pretty poor acting and direction. While this film isn't bad enough to be enjoyed by bad movie aficionados, it is bad enough not to be enjoyable to anyone...except, perhaps, masochists. A cheap mess that you probably couldn't pay me enough to see again--take some advice from me and try something, anything, else!
