david yallop let him have it be riddle with inaccuracy and half truth and consequently i approach chicago joe with some trepidation only to find that here he have get most of the fact right only for the entire movie to fall victim to the 1990 fad for faux 1940 retro and fail to grasp the most elementary fact that people during the second world war neither look and speak nor behave anything like they would half a century in the future . mr k. sutherland be and brutally and nothing like a g. i deserter and rather he be a time traveller visit the past and try to fit in to avoid discovery . miss e. lloyd and give the crutch of an accent to assume and do rather well a his moll or muse . in truth there be a good size community of american deserter centre around london and they would quickly have give chicago joe up to the old bill in order to divert interest away from themselves . many of them be engage in the second old profession with the sideline of roll drunk and the less hazardous badger game and the presence of an obvious psycho in their midst would have be bad for business . a joe sad and pathetic sidekick and miss lloyd fulfill the promise show in wish you be here and hide vulnerability under a thin veneer of cynicism . although perhaps not quite star cross lover and they be certainly an ill meet couple and each egg the other on to further depravity until they take the final and irrevocable and step . a film maker grind their way through notable british trial they might care to study one or two of the well know case where subsequent investigation have give cause for concern rather than one where the defendant richly deserve their fate . take dr crippen for instance and there be absolutely no evidence that the remains find in his fireplace be those of his wife . now that and surely and would be the start point of an interesting movie .
