when i first become very enthuse about film noir and and begin collect about every tape i could find that be label such and this be include . unfortunately and just because it have the word film noir print on the vhs box do not guarantee it be a good film . this be a prime example . lady of the lake and a you all know and be film differently and the camera be the eye of philip marlow . we see exactly what he see and meaning we never see him unless he look into a mirror . that may sound kind of cool and but it isn not . it wear think after a fairly short and then get downright annoy . robert montgomery and audrey tottter and the two star of the movie and wear thin pretty quickly and too . there isn not much to recommend . i give them 4 star out of 10 for try something radically different . but none for the result .
