An aging Jewish man calls upon a detective to investigate the mystery of an unscrupulous Dorian Gray-style scoundrel who, despite his youthful appearance, may be a notorious Nazi war criminal.
In addressing this film, I must begin by saying that it will not be well received by most viewers. If, however, you possess a willingness to extend impunity to poverty-row cinema, then you might find a blink or two of mildly amusing frippery in this dicey little three-dollar-bill.
That this flick was committed to cheap, ashen filmstock is an immediate indicator that this was an empty-pockets production. Quite simply stated, there's a discernable messiness to the entire mechanical wheel of the film, yet it does manages to catalyze a shadowy, spectral veneer, and inject a few moments of trashy David Lynchian surrealism.
A page ripped straight from the manual on how to quash a perfectly good prospect. 4/10.
