the acting

I started watching this movie, and about fifteen minutes into it I did something that I've never done before: The acting was so bad that I had to turn it off. I simply couldn't stand it. I'm not too demanding; I love B noir, but a few minutes of Marian Kerby and (especially) Jane Weeks was bad enough--then Mischa Auer appeared, and I just thought, forget it, life is too short.

Beware.

Like you, I am a fan of B Noir. I was ready to turn it off after a few minutes, but I decided to give it a chance and watch it all way through. I should have taken your advice and turned it off. 4 out of 10.
