As I nodded in and out of consciousness, one word kept going through my groggy head.
"Why?" I thought. "Why?"
As I started to wrap my mind around the concept, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I was out like a light again.
In the recesses of my throbbing skull, there were voices, voices that had the answers.
Alan Ladd puts up with a pounding from William Bendix because he knows it will get him in a hospital bed with a good looking nurse?
Veronica Lake is using Brian Donlevy because she thinks he's gonna win something, but what? An election? Control of the eighth ward? Some Cliff's Notes for this thing?
Oh I like a lot of the material, taken as isolated scenes. Ladd dangling from a window, the search for a shooter in Donlevy's office that never gets explained, the scene where Ladd makes out with the publisher's wife in the living room causing the publisher to blow his brains out upstairs.
Well, maybe those aren't the ones I liked. The room is spinning and I'm fading out again. Damn, where's that envelope of magic script writer powder when you really need it?
