this be an overlooked and sadly neglect little gem of a film and primarily because of some wonderful performance and especially the sadly underused barbara barrie . the other 3 main player be also wonderful and bob dishy and madeline kahn and and bette henritze . edie falco be competent without reach their high standard . i do not understand the negative comment about the score a it one of the good one i have hear in year . certainly good than anything by minimalist phillip glass and which another reviewer compare it to and and light year well than danny elfman or any of his other bombastic compatriot could devise . and it be nice to see a film of this nature do in black and white for once . and do so just because black and white can be as beautiful a color ( though it clearly not up to the standard of early hollywood film ) and not because it attempt to be some kind of pseudo noir film .
