Plot Summary:Sardonic detective Shane, thrown out of one town for bringing trouble, heads for home and his ex-partner's detective agency. The business is in a sad way, and Shane, who has had the forethought to provide himself with a 250-dollar commission from an old lady on the train, is welcomed with open arms. When pretty Valerie Purvis walks in the next day willing to pay over the odds to put a tail on the man who did her wrong, Shane's way with the ladies looks like paying off yet again. But things start to go wrong when his partner is murdered, and Shane himself comes home to find his apartment wrecked by a gentlemanly crook who comes back to apologise -- and to tell him a fascinating fairy-story about the fabled Horn of Roland that looks like not being so mythical after all. Miss Purvis wants protection. The police want answers. And all sorts of people want the 'French horn'... but Shane is one jump ahead of everyone all the way. Well, almost.
看了一大半之后跳跳跳，什么乱七八糟的。
鲍嘉的版本好看多了。对老电影的容忍程度相对高一些，给三星吧。
太无聊了……贝蒂也没什么存在感，剧情混乱，竟然是悬疑片。一直觉得自己喜欢30s好莱坞电影无配乐式的简洁清爽故事，这部不在其中。2019.02.16
这部的Bette Davis很有魅力。整部片节奏实在拖沓
节奏很差虽然只有74分钟片长都让人觉得拖沓，表演也不自然，说是喜剧吧也有点牵强至少一点没觉得好笑，只能说是处于一种很尴尬的状态。。。完全没有神经喜剧的圆润与戏虐倒是透着股做作。。。唯一觉得塑造的还不错的角色是那个小胖子。。。PS不敢相信这是迪亚特尔的作品。。。
