I watch TCM's Noir Alley every week, with much anticipation. About half the time I'm pleased. The other half?: Let's just say Eddie Muller over-sells what he's hosting. This time, however, not even he has much good to say about this: and he's over-sold it with his bland nonchalance. This is a trulyTrulyTRULY terrible movie. I watched about 35 minutes, and could take no more. The hybridity of it fell completely flat: the romance insipid; the sanctimony insulting to anyone with self-respect for the true spirituality of the holiday; the noirishness jarring. Please do yourself a favor and pass on watching this maudlin pr*c.
