Wow. Wow. When I got to the dream scene, I was thinking, this is some movie, but when I got to the part with Lorre and the stray dog--what an adventuresome film, really doing so much.
(Particular Sovay line that I liked that has nothing to do with the drama: a comb-over so unconvincing, his hair looks like it was doodled on)
His dream was Briggs' trial, magnified from miscarriage of justice to surrealistic nightmare --yeah; definitely got that sense.
Lorre emphasizes the frail, lost aspects of a character who might be anywhere from prematurely exhausted youth to fadingly boyish middle age; he buys hamburger meat for a starved stray dog that followed him for two blocks and smiles with a shy mouthful of crooked teeth. --This and what comes after make him seem a *very* intriguing guilty party.
I'd like to see this one day. Thanks as always for a gripping review.
