Does This Film Border On Being Film Noir?
It wasn't a bad flick but the cheesy eighties music was a bit distracting. I'm not sure if I buy Guttenberg in this type of role.
shareI love the soundtrack. And Brad Greenquist was the best in this film by far. His character hardly spoke, and Brad managed to show what Henderson was like just by his physical expressions, which can be very difficult to do.
shareHey folks,
I am not usually attracted by the music in most films; for me it is always the story - give me a good story. In this film, however, I did notice and appreciate what I think was a tenor sax playing. Beth's statement about Greenquist's performance was very much on the mark to me. He made his character so real, and he did it without dialogue, relying on subtle physical gestures and expressions.
Best wishes,
Dave Wile
The fact that Brad Greenquist's Henderson character only says one word I remember ("You!" to Guttenburg's Terry character near the end)and one actual line (telling Huppert's Sylvia character to not take her seat since the ballet act is about to end), I think that makes him believable as someone who nobody notices and also as a real creepy character (due to the expressions in his eyes).
Yeah, I actually think is film has Film Noir touches, but isn't a full-blown Film Noir.
