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
- If you count yourself among fans of a good con and armchair detectives, this one's for you. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. If you loved The Asphalt Jungle or The Lavender Hill Mob, start here. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 4 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1934: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
After an extended stay in England, Sophie Lang returns to America. She is beautiful, sophisticated--and a notorious jewel thief. A New York police detective who's been trying to nail her finally comes up with what seems a foolproof scheme--to catch her off guard by having her fall for a handsome and suave jewel thief who happens to be in the U.S. traveling under an assumed name.
