Smart Dialog and a Good Story, Combined with a Competent Cast and Location Scenery, Make this a Slightly Above Average and Little Seen Film. A Private Investigator is Hired by an Insurance Company that Doesn't Like Paying Out Large Claims that are Ambiguous but Legal.
Patrick O'Neal Doesn't Bring Much Charisma to the Table but is Determined and Ultra-Efficient. There is Some Intrigue and One Good Fight Scene and the Movie has Some Modern Late Sixties Flourishes.
One Big Surprise Occurs and there is Some Cleverness to the Whole Thing but Ultimately it Just Isn't that Special. Some Consider this a Neo-Noir and While that is Debatable there is a Case to be Made. It has a Cynical Tone that is Rather Dark in Spots and it is All Played with a Rather Sombre Feel.
The Film was Released in the States on a Double Bill with Little Fanfare, it has been Undiscovered and has a Misleading Title. Overall, a bit Different and Worth a Watch.
