I like that the first 2/3rds is a straightforward noir detective movie. But in the 70s in Albuquerque with a mix of Italian and US actors doing the Mitchum, Edward G. Robinson and Liz Scott roles.
Moves kind of slow and the noir quips are all entertaining but off.
Bonuses for showing what's playing at the local theater: Elvis' That's The Way It Is and Speedway, and later Brando's Burn! And Viva Zapata. I'm a sucker for actual movie marquees in films.
