Rating: 3.0
Spoof Noir
I enjoyed this movie overall. Would I watch it again--not for a while. The sound quality is a bit low, it looks like it could use a bit of remastering visually as well.As far as the actual movie goes--it takes a few moments to get into the plot as it is a framed narrative, most of it taking place in the immediate past getting the viewers up to date with the current situation (Bob Hope in San Quentin). It gets very enjoyable after that, a few confusing moments--a result of a bit of sloppy spoofing. However, mostly it is done very well, anyone familiar with the hard boiled detective genre, film or book will enjoy this for its light hearted take on it.Lamour and Hope play perfectly off each other there is also a nice blink and you miss it cameo by their on the road co-star, Bing Crosby.I really did enjoy this though, but not the very very very best. But quite good.
