Customer Reviews

“Murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle.”

Los Angeles, July 16, 1938. “I don’t like the word confession…” - Walter Neff. This is a good story that unfolds as a flashback with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson. Screenplay by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler from the novel by James M. Cain. I do not want to go into the details of the movie, as that is where the fun is. What can go wrong? Do not panic. I can say that the love story in the movie is between Walter Neff and Barton Keyes from the beginning to the end. Many movies and books are written for their mystery. Others focus on time and place. It is the time and place that fascinated me just as much as the story. Los Angeles Railway Corp. I rode both the Red Cars and the Green Cars before they were dumped in the ocean. I even rode the electric buses that replaced the streetcars. They also showed Glendale. The Long Beach oil fields are mentioned (not Signal Hill). Santa Monica, Palo Alto (a tad to the north), Olvera Street, and so on. There are a few technical faux pas, but they do not distract from the movie. It is worth watching several times to see how the details match the story.
