With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- One for people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to A Shot in the Dark.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
When a dancer disappears from a theater, Clay Dalzell is asked to investigate, leading him on a trail of murder and deception.
