I was somewhat disappointed in this movie, which was much less than I thought it would be. Stylistically it was very good, but there was little beneath the shimmering surface. The plot made little sense, nor did I understand the motivations of the characters. It was pleasing to look at film noir, but I never connected with it emotionally, unlike many other films of that genre. For example, a few people remarked on the ending. It took me a while to even remember it.
The cinematography was great, the famous dance number was sizzling, and the actors, even the bit parts, filled out their roles well. But I never really cared what anyone was actually up to, nor did their fate matter to me.
Great for film buffs, so so for regular audiences.
