This is not your mother's Notorious, but unlike another critic I found Jenny Robertson's portrayal touching and tragic. John Shea, more believable as an agent than Grant and yet a likeable leading man with a romantic quality of times past.
Ms. Robertson is a leading lady in the Michele P. level of beauty and her breathless quality of line delivery is very like the endearing flavor of Ms. Bergman. Mr. Shea and Ms. Robertson so capable of being major motion picture leads and yet Hollywood has not discovered these jewels.
The movie takes the luxury of time and contains a very romantic musical montage. The movies sound track is also flavored of films past.
The supporting roles are perfectly cast and very exotic. So much like those from the first movie it is astonishing.
The movie's tension is no where near the original and yet it is enjoyable all the same.
I do hope Hollywood discovers the talents of Ms. Robertson and Mr. Shea.
Mr.Shea would be ideal as the new Phillip Marlowe and Ms. Robertson would shine in any leading role.
The movie made for cable's Lifetime Channel is indeed a great movie for a girl's night. Rent the original and follow with this contemporary tribute to a classic old movie.
