Disappointing and pointless
6 October 2021
Not sure why Marion confesses to the attempted murder of Susan, her protege. We don't see what actually happened until the end.

We know Marion's singing voice mysteriously is not up to her standard (actually the flashback when Marion IS singing Let Him Go Let Him Tarry, her voice awfully screechy and I had to press 'mute'). Susan, her protege sings "Paradise', and if that's Graham's real voice, it's lovely, unlike her comedy singing In Oklahoma (in which she delivered a great performance).

We don't know why Marion confessed, maybe she actually felt she'd taken Susan's life by making her famous and telling her what to do, who to see, what to wear. Who knows? Who cares?

The attempts at comedy do not work. The silly farce of the detective's wife trying to be Holmes just doesn't work and is more annoying than anything.

Really it was a film about nothing. Silly ending, poor script - is that the Grandma from The Walton's playing the nurse. Not a film I'd recommend or remember.
