Two petty thief turns their eye on a lonely wife AND one, seduces her for his meek friend. When the thirst happened, feeling arises AND a sleazy affair turns dark.
Shockingly modern. Given its poster I taught this will a Corman-esque exploitation BUT it was more or less a precursor New Hollywood attitudes. Philandering wife, Peeping Tom Goons and a whole lot of imaginative shots. It was as the producers and directors was trying - to feel new wave.
It does lend to the freewheeling style of the French. It mostly succeed visually but the story midway does lag a bit. I felt that it was trying to much for its comfort. The wife is too underdrawn to be honest and they draw the seduction far too long. I wish it was more amped to be honest.
Performance wise, Corey Allen imbues everything this role requires. Sexual, Rough and probably missing some empathy. Kinda shocked that he never really found his footing in movies. He was in Rebel Without A Cause and this AND it was pretty much nothing of note. He pretty much settled in TV direction after a few years. I guess his rich background really did not force him to go for roles.
Otherwise, a Good but flawed find. It great that it was rediscovered after years in the bunker.
