Henry D @RT58075727 3d Stylish, dark, and cleverly constructed, the film turns a dying businessman’s estate into a lively contest of ambition and opportunism. Watching the would-be heirs circle and scheme is consistently entertaining, and the real pleasure comes from the quietly subversive twist, when the seemingly sweet, unassuming secretary outmaneuvers them all. The period jazz score adds texture and atmosphere, though the recording quality is disappointingly thin and limits its impact. See more Read all reviews
