Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
GUENOT PHILIPPE That's the first film directed by William Claxton. It's not a film noir, as I wrongly expected, but a sort of comedy yarn. Nothing more. Little boring - but not too much either, talkative, with a topic every one has seen before. A night club girl is accused of a murder charge. A murder she, of course, did not commit. And the lead - Taylor - tries everything to prove her innocence. And also find the real killer.So, you see, nothing really unusual in this little movie. I don't think Claxton made other films of this kind later, but mostly westerns, and fairly good ones. But B movies too, no great classics.But, back to this one, we have seen worse. It's not a lousy picture.
