elaborate and star stud movie about a jewel thief ( joan crawford ) fall in love with a man she suppose to rob . or something like that . this be a horrible movie just one of the bad i have ever see . it be beautiful to look at and have a great cast and they all give great performance ( especially crawford she gorgeous and letter perfect in her role ) . then why do i hate this so much . the dialogue and plot . the plot be as old a the hill and the script be chock full of totally unbelievable dialogue that no human be would ever utter . virtually every other line be so bewildering that i could not get into the character or the story . also the film be very static it feel very much like a stage play film . and it very and very slow and dullmaybe i shouldn not judge the film a it be i try to watch it twice and fell asleep both time . i make it through an hour and then doze off . i think the stupid dialogue keep me awake for that long . this film be unavailable ( for some reason ) from the 1960s to the early 1980s . unfortunately it now out there . do yourself a favor if youre a crawford fan ( like i be ) do not see this . it really terrible .
