Magic Marmalade 19th Apr 2023		Rated 6/10 How disappointing! Another one of those I'd sought to cross off my list, that comes with a huge, and legendary reputation... ...And while of course, it essentially patents the formula for the twisty turny private investigator noir movie, I found it unnecessarily convoluted, and the plot complicated, and a little difficult to follow. What was amusing was the old stereotype of the characters talking in very quick, clipped sentences of this era: "You know what I mean see...?", "I do, see...?", "Oh you do see..?", "Oh yes I do, see...see...!".... "I see!" etc. But that was mostly I think, because it felt they trying to cram too much dialogue and plot into too short a runtime, so it feels hurried. It did gradually, mildly engross me towards the end, but I was getting quite non-plussed and even slightly bored with it until then. (Oh, and while I Appreciate Humphrey Bogart is, of course, Humphrey Bogart, swimming in his Bogart-ness, I can't fathom why every single girl and woman in this thinks he's "Cute" and can barely keep themselves from falling over in swoons every time they encounter him... what the hell is that about?) Overall... meh. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
