j F 12/01/2023 Surprisingly good. The plot certainly got dizzy, but the acting well done. And the women were beautiful, a sort of detective James Bond film. See more Steve D 06/06/2023 Engaging mystery with a killer twist. See more barney f 09/25/2022 Convoluted mystery in the Phillip Marlowe feel. All star cast with bit parts by Raymond Burr. Film Noir. Has almost a comedic feel without being a comedy. Very good movie. Keeps you guessing to the end. See more Read all reviews
