A backhanded Film noir, 29 February 2000
8/10
Author: Holly (aromatic@ivillage.com) from New York, NY

David McCallum plays the anti-Sam-Spade private eye in this wry latter-day film-noir-esque look at decadence in the late 60's. Telly Savallas and Rip Torn both are wonderful as the antagonists. As good a momento of its period as any film you will ever find.
