Featured review
Almost the moment the movie starts, you could guess at least next half an hour, and when the hero is top brain surgeon, you could guess the end too. But that's not something by which I would rank a movie bad. There are delightful movies with hackneyed stories, which had been more than enjoyable. Some did have minor twist in the tale, especially at the end, but nothing much to make them distinguishable. Here of course even that doesn't exist, and wherever there is minor variations, that is absurd, to say the least. Unfortunately none of the actors too could bring up something superlative to tide over the situation. Too many absurd situations had to happen to create the story, and of course absurdities couldn't be explained. Why Mary Winters had to keep all those incriminating evidences with her, even to deathbed? Why she didn't destroy it earlier, or even at deathbed, she had enough strength to destroy it even then, and rather decided to give it to Betty, without any purpose to be served, rather an promise from her that none should know of it. Of course the big graduation photographs, multiple ones that too, in newspaper, by which she could be identified, itself is something which is strange, considering that was a different town. Moving to the town of Wilson's- Betty, an ex- con-woman herself, didn't guess? The double black-mail itself was something strange, as well as break-down of it. Nothing I could find that could make me advocate it for even a single viewing.
