Inspirada en un caso de asesinato real ocurrido en 1944. Karl Hulten es un mercenario americano que acude al mercado negro de Londres después de robar un camión de armamento. Allí conoce a Betty Jones, una cabaretera que vive en un mundo de fantasías hollywoodienses sobre cine negro y gángsters. Ella acabará convenciéndolo para que participe en un turbio asunto. (Lauren Films)

The film has decent visuals and especially excellent music, yet the overall impression is quite ambiguous. It is deceiving in certain ways. Dreamlike scenes that take us to the most glorious era of 1930s Hollywood, as well as the characters' approach to their life reality, clearly tempt us to consider the film as a parody of classic gangster movies, and this theme has great comedic potential. However, the screenwriter ultimately steers it in a completely different direction against the viewer's expectations, resulting in an uninspiring and ineffective reconstruction of an ancient criminal act. Expectations dissolve and the final impression is awkward. I would rate it at around 40%.
