What's in the bag?
11 October 2016
Chemist Lon Chaney Jr (Jeff) develops cures for illnesses but it's his boss J. Carrol Naish (Graham) who proudly takes the credit. Chaney is OK with this as he is motivated by the desire to help mankind. However, he is just too nice and doesn't even ask for pay rises. Naish is ruthlessly committed to profit and is prepared to release unfinished products to the public and that's what he does. He comes into direct conflict with Chaney over this point and things escalate. Chaney wants something back.

Well, I'm not sure Chaney needed to do what he does given his reasoning at the end of the film. It doesn't make any sense – he's babbling complete nonsense. However, we all sympathize with him. The film is a bit boring given the family situation - I couldn't care less for the family life sections and the kid and the irritating housekeeper.

One thing is true about the film, it is indeed a strange confession. And there are loads of products on the market that are no good for you. What's in the bag – yes, you guessed right. No real mystery about this film, it's an obvious narrative.
