You probably recognize William Baldwin in the picture. Like his brother Stephen, he seems to snag all the lesser-known, usually bad-guy roles, while his more dashing brother Alex gets the big movies. He's dancing with an up and coming star, Angela Jones.
What kind of dance are they doing? A very, very, very, very dark one! See, this is a film noir, with NOIR about as dark and weird and creepy as it gets.
The plot, you ask? Never the spoiler, I'll give a few clues. Angela plays a woman who is fascinated by violent crimes. She cuts out every news clipping, follows every story, and imbues herself in the details of every murder of the day. Weird!
Seeking a job, what could be better for this strange lady than joining a maid service that specializes in cleaning up crimes? Sound familiar? It should: The recent film Sunshine Cleaning with Amy Adams sort of ripped off the earlier, little known, film.
Now our very bizarre protagonist is in her element: blood, guts, gore, you name it. She loves to clean it all up...while she tries to figure out whodunnit!
So what does the dance with William Baldwin have to do with all this? For you to discover, dear readers! Get on your Hitchcock/Stephen King hat and revel in the eerie!
Enjoy!
