I must admit that I expected more from the Joseph Newman's last picture. I thought that it was an authentic film noir, not necessarily with plenty of action, but intriguing, breathless, well done; with a plot not tepid as the one in this feature.
The story of a private eye - Janssen - who investigates on a murder and meets a bunch of protagonists; as usual in this kind of production. An unbelievable tale, and complicated at the most. But the music score, jazzy, is adequate as the surroundings. I think it's the only positive point of view about this movie.
David Janssen is also rather good in his character, as Brad Dexter, Agnes Moorehead and Jeanne Crain.
In short, it's not a corny picture, but if you miss it, I think you'll be able to live without it.
