Subject: Great Film

This is a great film with an interesting story. Rooney and Lorre really work well together, I feel. Unfortunately, though, at about 5 minutes into the film there is some skipping/stuttering in all the files I downloaded (both MPEGs and the 254 MP4). After it clears, it's fine to the end.

My 5 Stars is for the film, and does not consider the file glitch.

Subject: Quicksand indeed

My download played, the time meter recorded, while the image and sound didn't move. The picture and soumd kept sticking as if snaged in quicksand. It appeared to get better then it snaged again. I played it with a DVD copy I made from it on my TV, when I first watched it, so I tried watching it from the computer file I had but it was exacly the same. It appeared to be a promissing show to watch with good reviews and an star filled cast of actors but it wasn't. It appears to me from what I landed up with after downloading the MPEG 2 file that it was a waste of my time.

Subject: Mickey Rooney Film Noir! What?

Yes, this combination was hard to get my brain around at first, but it works - Rooney is excellent and surprisingly believeable as the slightly shady character he plays. Peter Lorre as a nasty amusement arcade owner is another great added attraction, and the film kept me gripped throughout. Recommended.

Subject: 2nd Best Rooney Flick I have seen.

At the IMDB someone stated that Mickey disliked this flick. I can't understand why. He did a superb job. Well worth the view.

My thanks to the Uploader.
