This re-make of Murder My Sweet never gets past the finish line. Like putting a pair of bell bottom pants and marijauna joint on Humphrey Bogart and then expecting the audience to fall for it. Felt like a cheap re-run of Barnaby Jones or Mannix (or maybe Banacek, another forgotten cop show). But the tune you played is fantastic, capturing the essence of noir. Seduction and danger.

ReplyDeletemy mistake. I mistook Farewell My Lovely for the remake of The Big Sleep. FML was a very good film.
