First pancake coma The first John Sturges movie. I would like to say that now I feel the handwriting of a professional - but no, such a film could make any third-year student of the Institute of arts.
A simple criminal story about a swindler (who he is - will show from the first frames), who is trying to catch an unlucky policeman (and concurrently the groom of the teacher of the "granddaughter" of a petty crook). And everything would be fine, but then his old friend arrives to the scammer, who demands money for silence. A lot of money. And if anything, she goes not to the police, but to common friends who did a good job for him...
“Pseudonym: Mr. Twilight” is a very cheap film, reminiscent, rather, of an episode of a detective series. From the scenery - a couple of rooms, the script seems to have been written over a lunch break, all the plot moves are predictable, all the actions of the characters are banal.
Acting game of the main characters - model faces pronounce replicas.
Neutral review put only for one reason - Lloyd Corrigan, his beautiful game reigns unchallenged in the frame. This is the only professional who does not make discounts on the passing nature of the film and honestly practice his fee.
These days, this standard average doesn’t make sense to watch unless you want to see all of Sturges’ movies or you have exactly sixty-six minutes of time in the waiting room.
A clean, undiluted three on a five-point scale.
