The Man Who Cheated Himself: The Ending Cheated Me — 1 year ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
This could have been a much better movie: it started out as a smart, tight little noir picture, but the ending got out of hand. I think they were trying to play up the tension, but it just seemed flat and drawn out, then tied up sloppily. John Dall and Lee J. Cobb did a fine job, playing a nice little game of cat and mouse (and cat). The public domain print that I watched was, shall we say, unsatisfying, but I thought it was an hour and five minutes of a good picture.
