Second viewing; first viewed between 1983 and 1986.
Phony psychic Blanche, assisted by her cab driver boyfriend George, is engaged in milking gullible women for their money. Blanche expects to collect a fee for finding a rich woman's nephew who was given for adoption as an infant. But it so happens that said nephew is a jeweller who, with the assistance of his wife Fran, kidnaps important persons and collects the ransoms in diamonds.
Suspense thriller with a comedic tone. It is a very organized movie, with a cleverly thought-out script, precisely rendered into images, but with few particularly memorable sequences (the out-of-control car, perhaps?). The acting is more or less uniformly good. False assumptions and beliefs based on false appearances are underlying motifs of the narrative.
Rating: 58 (up from 41)
