The cast, of course, is gorgeous, but the film itself matches it. It's a little tedious, but the viewing is worth it

Good cast. The movie is too old. Sometimes stupid.
You can look at the background, but the Super wow effect does not work.

I can't recommend it for viewing. For an amateur.

The cast is simply gorgeous, and, accordingly, as a result, the game is wonderful and emotional. I was pleasantly surprised that I hadn't seen this movie before. Of course, due to its so-called antiquity, it is a little heavy and at the beginning it does not seem quite clear, but the cast pulls everything out of it and perfectly compensates for its performance. In the process of viewing, the plot is addictive and keeps the emotional state on top, there are unexpected sharp turns. Intense, dynamic detective, constantly keeps in good shape. However, not everyone will like it clearly and not everyone, since the film is not quite simple and ordinary. But I would definitely recommend it for viewing and I will be happy to review it myself, and more than once (even for the sake of acting alone).

An attempt to make a noir, but very farfetched. The actors are excellent; as we wrote above, there are a couple of interesting plot twists. Overall, it's a bit long-winded, but you can watch it.
