It's very well acted, though, and really out there for a gangster period shoot-em-up film. It looks like Aldrich saw Bonnie and Clyde, and decided to up the ante in violence that it had. Scott Wilson is excellent as the gang leader--goofy and dumb one minute, and truly scary as hell the next as a cold-blooded killer. Great cast, though, for an unpleasant film. It's actually a remake of a 1940s British film noir. squeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605962176523261516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-38203553345936750912020-01-14T14:21:14.605-08:002020-01-14T14:21:14.605-08:00Daily and Wilson are like something from The Bever...Daily and Wilson are like something from The Beverly Hillbillies. Over-the-top acting is a hallmark of Aldrich's films; Baby Jane, The Big Knife, The Legend of Lylah Clare, Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte and Autumn Leaves. His best film was the classic noir Kiss Me, Deadly (1955). Darby is grating though she improves a bit as the picture goes on and on. It seems endless.Joseph Kearnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03360334357262197758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-4818227774320968032018-08-22T16:01:33.727-07:002018-08-22T16:01:33.727-07:00Was it as rapey as it sounds, with a heavy dose of...Was it as rapey as it sounds, with a heavy dose of Stockholm syndrome?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10048253514693013567noreply@blogger.com
