But the story is ingenious, despite all its antics, which are quite horrific and even immoral. The anti-hero seems to absolve himself perhaps because his motive is so pure. After confessing his actions to Roseanna, she aids in the cover-up. The pitfall is the plot, which proves to be blatantly convenient. The bad guy blows his head off without any motive.
Money is needed and the banker dies.
Things fall into place too conveniently. Then again, it's a farce. The cast is superb, with Reno showing effortless comic timing. Yet even the most ridiculous story has a lesson to it. Love does triumph in the end, but it also leaves a trail of havoc behind.
