This noir had a lot going for it and it even shined a few times, but then it didn't. I think the problem was with the direction of the acting. It seems as though they filmed the rehearsal scenes and decided to edit them into a movie in order to save on production costs. Too bad because it could have been much better. Not a bad story and the casting was fair as was the screenplay, but it could have had a little less dialogue and a bit more action. The romance scenes were particularly bad and seemed forced. I wondered why the guy didn't break out into laughter when she said she loved him. I wanted to give it a rating of 6 but settled on a 5. If I were under the influence maybe I would kick it up a notch. Oh well...
