Re: Track the Films You Watch (2008)
Blonde Crazy
On the one hand, this film is historically interesting for it's pre-code aspects, and does have a couple of clever con game sequences/twists.
On the other hand, the film suffers horribly from shifting voice - it's starts out nearly as a romantic comedy, and changes around, ending up as nearly a soap opera. And it also suffers from one of the worst motivated character moves in history - there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for Ray Milland to do what he did at the end, and it almost certainly guarantees that he was turning what would have been his deliverance from trouble into certain jail. Completely idiotic, and unmotivated by anything in the film, it really does ruin any chance this film has.
