Viewing Notes
One I had seen before but didn’t recollect the story so I decided to give it another spin. Yeah it’s a good one w/a great femme fatale. I like how complex it gets w/the three music boxes that play a melody that’s a code to the whereabouts of the stolen 5 pound note plates.
Even tho I’m not super crazy about half the Rathbone Holmes flicks there still are very fun and a cinema comfort food ideal for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I looked up this Blu set and discovered it’s $70!!!! WTF
Glad my library had it.
