i be not sure if this be some kind of masterpiece or just sleazy fluff elevate by the performance and visuals . whatever the case and i be sure i love it . from the wonderfully twisted and lurid and intertwine story and to the deliciously sinister performance from robert stack and dorothy malone and to the vivid and gaudy colour with which it all capture and this be high class trash and it great fun . not to mention the amusingly sly and thinly veil sexual subtexts which permeate the entire film and always threaten to escape from the image into the dialogue but never do so . i would be lie if i say that the film sheer entertainment value do not contribute to my love for it and but there some sort of bizarre artistry behind the unintentional ( or be it . ) comedy and i really and really dig that . i could really get into this melodrama stuff .
