With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of a good con and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. A good follow-up to The Asphalt Jungle or Dancer in the Dark. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
The film deals with Zelida, an eccentric spinster, whose jewellery is stolen. She and her cousin use the insurance money to undertake a cruise from South Africa to Venice. She is completely unaware of the fact that a fellow passenger, an ambassador, actually is a detective. Meanwhile, the robber, his beautiful girlfriend and the looted jewels are on the same cruise ship. In addition, an orphan stowaway is making matters worse.
