Dirk Bogarde: Cad or Bounder? (possible spoiler!)
22 November 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Caught this on TCM on my day off and was reasonably entertained. It had been years since I saw Bogarde in anything and he looks like he accomplished what he set out to do ... be slick and gracefully evil. I lost track of what went on at the end; first I thought he'd completely flipped and was trying to kill himself, then changed his mind and tried not to. He had to have known the car he'd driven away in was the one he had rigged to crash.

Regardless, I found the film to be an interesting bit of late-stage noir with not a little bit of chick flick tossed in. For a bunch of older characters, the women were pretty saucy!
