The effect achieved in this story about a psychiatrist who becomes involved with con artists is so mannered that I have to assume that that was the desired intent. The sets are artificial and at no time did I not feel that I was watching a movie. It seemed like the actors were just reading their lines, rather than responding to one another. While the film has elements of early film noir (except that it is in color) the approach is so exaggerated that I almost have to conclude that it is a parody of the genre.

Given that the presentation had no appeal to me, I was at least expecting an engaging story. Usually I am pretty slow on the uptake when it comes to stories with plot twists, but you could see what was coming here within the first fifteen minutes. By the time of the, "Gee, I forgot the $80,000," moment, I thought to myself that this thing is truly ridiculous. For a psychiatrist with stated experience in gambling addictions to behave so stupidly is beyond belief. If at any stage she had behaved like a normal intelligent person, the whole story would have fallen apart.

This wooden production left me cold.

Den effekt som uppnås i denna berättelse om en psykiater som blir involverad med bedragare är så hyfsad att jag måste anta att det var den önskade avsikten. Uppsättningarna är konstgjorda och jag kände aldrig att jag tittade på en film. Det verkade som om skådespelarna bara läste sina repliker, snarare än att svara på varandra. Medan filmen har inslag av tidig film noir (förutom att den är i färg) är tillvägagångssättet så överdrivet att jag nästan måste dra slutsatsen att det är en parodi på genren. Med tanke på att presentationen inte tilltalade mig väntade jag mig åtminstone en engagerande berättelse. Vanligtvis är jag ganska långsam på upptaget när det gäller berättelser med intrigvridningar, men man kunde se vad som skulle komma hit inom de första femton minuterna. Vid tiden för "Jag glömde 80 000 dollar", tänkte jag för mig själv att det här verkligen är löjligt. För en psykiater med uppgiven erfarenhet av spelberoende att uppföra sig så dumt är bortom all tro. Om hon i något skede hade uppfört sig som en normal intelligent person, skulle hela historien ha fallit sönder. Den här trätillverkningen lämnade mig kall.
