उपयोगकर्ता समीक्षाएं

In this film noir spoof set in 1947 and shot in black and white a private eye goes to see a client (Lesley Anne-Down) who fears her life is in danger and sure enough she is shot to death not much later. Suspects include her nerdy son, sexy daughter, the fired gardener and butler, and a chubby femme fatale named Mona who is a sultry singer in a nightclub. This should all be great material for a hilarious satire but the movie is slow and dull and shockingly unfunny, with only a couple of mild chuckles throughout. Occasionally the dialogue is clever, but more often cliched. The stylized performances aren't especially amusing either, defeating the whole purpose of the movie. The climax is a little bit interesting, but not enough to save the movie. Pretty much a must to avoid!
