Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Surfacing contemporaneously with Blood Simple and with a comparably sophisticated approach to genre manipulation, this variation on the My Name Is Julia Ross scenario briefly allowed the Wheats and the Coens to be mentioned in the same breath. Dusenberry makes a lively heroine-in-distress, sucked into an impersonation scheme that leaves her facing death or a fate worse-than. 'Promising' remains the best description, thus begging the question: Whither the Wheats?Author: BBa
