It is the 50s, and a Los Angeles private detective is swept up into intrigue when a job he takes goes sideways.
Meh. I can see how this would be interesting for someone who like gumshoe movies, but I don’t so I’m bored. It, throughout, seems like it’s trying too hard to be like an old black-and-white movie.
- 0:30 — Oh my god, was this made to intentionally feel old?
-
2:45 — Whoa, he was already receding and thinning in 1974? He must be in his 70s now..

- 7:15 — Shale
- 11:45 — I guess if everyone wore suits, they’d have plenty of them around and wouldn’t mind getting them dirty. Or I suppose he’s paid enough to clean them.
- 12:45 — Oh that is cool.. he can figure out what time the car drove over and broke the pocketwatch.
- 13:30 — “Water on the brain” = Hydrocephalus
- 19:45 — Ooh, I really did wonder if that was the right wife, and how the investigators would confirm their identity and not just go on names.
- 25:45 — I recognize that actor. Was that the guy from Big Trouble in Little China – (1986 movie)?
- 32:15 — Why couldn’t he smoke there?
- 38:00 — If he got blackout-drunk and passed out, it only takes a few fingers of water to drown.
- 40:00 — Why was the kid even there?
- 42:00 — “four shime(?) shoe”
- 46:00 — Tom Collins is a cocktail
- 1:01:30 — Is that a glass eye on the fish?

- 1:18:15 — Albacore is a tuna fish.
- 1:20:45 — Shouldn’t she have people around, seeing as the two of them are getting tied up in a murder?
- 1:22:15 — Peroxide, and a nice Colgate ad in the bathroom cabinet.
- 1:23:30 — Didn’t her husband just die?
- 1:27:30 — Well they drove to the rest home, so there was time for him to tell her about his meeting her father then..
- 1:34:00 — My first impression was that she was her sister, but then I wondered if she was her daughter..
- 1:35:45 — Hasn’t he beaten up enough people to have them drop by in the middle of the night?
-
1:38:45 — Framing him for murder would conveniently get him out of the way.
- .. and he’s still not armed.
- 1:40:30 — Keeping her wallet is.. a dangerous idea.
- 1:49:30 — A rich person might have multiple pairs of glasses.
- 1:50:30 — Well.. called it. Sortof.
- 1:51:15 — Incest
- 1:51:45 — Of course he raped her. She didn’t like the outcome therefore rape.
- 2:03:45 — Chinatown
- 2:03:45 — Did they have signs like that back then?
- 2:06:30 — What, he buckled before being grabbed.
- 2:06:45 — .. and this is why they don’t shoot at someone who isn’t a threat to them.
- 2:07:15 — Whoa… uuugh.
-
2:08:45 — Considering how slowly they went to the mother’s sister-daughter’s house, I’m shocked they got into chinatown so quickly.
