i hate read review that say something like and don not waste your time and this film stink on ice . it do to that reviewer yet for me and it may have some sort of naïve charm . if you like the other whistler series film and this one will be watchable . if you like 40 noirish film and this one will be watchable . this film be not as good and in my opinion and a any of the early series entry which star richard dix a the protagonist . it much slow and and the plot be trite . you have see this same narrative device use in many other film and and usually well . but the acting be good and and so be the lighting and and the dialog . it just lack in energy and you will likely figure out exactly what go on and how it all go to come out in the end not more than a quarter of the way through . the whistler series be semi noir and and there character and mood and lighting and camera movement and angle be more important than the story itself . but this film be not noir . it too light weight and hollywood innocent for that . neither richard dix character nor those of any of his lady in the previous film have to come to a good end . you just never know until the end . but still and i will recommend this one for at least a single viewing . i have watch it at least twice myself and and get a reasonable amount of enjoyment out of it both time .
