Lousy dialog
Poor old Raymond Burr. When he worked with Hitchcock in Rear Window he could never have foreseen he'd end up on TV uttering lines such as, "There's a court martial tomorrow at 10 a.m. in the morning."
shareI watched this movie last nite.. liked it OK, but.. man, where's the CSI team when you need 'em? ;=)
"That's Dirty Girtie! Pull her bow and she'll say hello". (Pinky Rose in 3 Women)
This movie was made in 89/90, LONG before CSI was even in the minds of Hollywood. You need a sense of time and history to appreciate the changes. For instance, the mobile phone used in the movie is 10 times the size of today's cell phones.
Use some perspective, please.
As for the dialogue, it did the work needed. This wasn't a competition for literature, but a fine attempt at entertainment. It did so for me.
