WATERFRONT LADY was listed as a crime film on Amazon Prime but having watched it I would better describe it as a romantic musical in which the characters constantly burst into song or dance routines, thus slowing the pacing down to a crawl. It's a pity that the end result is so uninteresting because there are elements of interest here in the tale of a man wrongly accused of murder and forced to go on the run from the police while at the same time attempting to clear his name.
What follows is a sluggishly-paced tale populated by uninteresting characters and actors who I've never heard of before and have no interest in seeing again. I found the romantic scenes quite cringe-worthy. There's a youthful supporting part for Ward Bond but that's about it. Otherwise modern sources render this a cheap and fuzzy looking picture in which the early potential evaporates in favour of relentless tedium.
