1.5*/5.0*

A Monroe vehicle, exemplified by the random song she (has to) sing halfway through. It's a pretty simple crime flick, but because the film isn't too serious it's somewhat watchable. It's not good by any of my definitions, but I've seen much worse noir films, so at least I wasn't as bored as I feared I would be.

The film is in color, which helps to make it stand out from most other noirs, but it's the jolly performances that make the biggest difference. It keeps the film light, even during the more tense second half. This is probably making it sound better than it was, but at least it's something.
