I have to agree with the majority of other reviews posted here. This film gets off to a cracking good start. So good that I wondered how they were going to keep up the strong pace. They didn't!
Now I know why I had not heard of this film before seeing it on TCM. Maybe Warners buried it early after release, yet it did display some 'crowd pleasing' attributes.
So confusing was this film, we had to stop and re-watch parts over to see if what 'seemed' to be happening, actually was!
Great cast, great production values, great cinematography, great music, but oh, that overly odd, quite unbelievably resolved story!
