Hammett (1982)
Country: US
Technical: bw/col 97m
Director: Wim Wenders
Cast: Frederic Forrest, Peter Boyle, Marilu Henner, R.G. Armstrong
Synopsis:
Author Dashiell Hammett is involved in the investigation into the disappearance of an actress in San Francisco's Chinatown.
Review:
Co-produced by Coppola, this was truly a meeting of minds and expectations ran high. The sumptuous production (a Zoetrope hallmark) and European arthouse acting style ultimately distract from an undernourished script, leaving the impression of being all dressed up with nowhere to go.
