★★★★★ · A MUST-SEE!! · kareneliot · 2010-09-04
It was a pretty quick-moving, average story decently acted by pretty good characters, it kept my interest and was entertaining. Rather lackluster review, huh? So "why 5 stars", you ask? I liked this movie even before the first night club lounge act, which is not to be missed by the... um.... appreciators of ... um... the finer theater arts.... The print is a little bit old, and there's a bunch of choppy/splicy audio, but you can still follow everything that's going on - "they" did a good job at saving it from obscurity. I'd have given it only 4 stars, but that night club act earned the fifth…
Thanks kareneliot · cosmico · 2010-09-04
Thank you to "kareneliot" for the informative review, since I was unable to get past the first few minutes due to the overwhelming number of breaks and splices destroying the dialogue. Next time I'll get past the opening...somehow! :)
