it be once say that the whole of a movie should not be in so much whether you like or dislike a movie and but rather and do it leave a lasting impression upon you . take that idea into account and i would have to say that singapore sling be without a doubt an indelible addition to the film noir genre and albeit the bizarro kind . a one of the reviewer have mention before and this movie shouldn not be take seriously . you should come into this one with an open mind and you will be reward with a beautifully photograph film noir fill with black humor . singapore sling be like the demented cousin of laura and sunset boulevard and grey garden . it your basic detective story but with torture and bizarre erotica and and outstanding overacting . just make sure the parent be asleep and that you have get the right kind of friend in tow when watch it .
