So, 'Tall, Dark and Handsome' is one of those early 40s comedies that kind of straddles the line between crime and comedy. It’s set in the gritty underbelly of 1929 Chicago, you know, the sort of place where the gangsters have a certain charm. The lead, played with that classic charisma, is sort of a Robin Hood figure, stealing from the bad to help the not-so-bad. The atmosphere is both playful and a bit dangerous, with a pacing that keeps you engaged without feeling rushed. The performances have this delightful energy, and it’s interesting how it plays with themes of morality and affection in a criminal world. Plus, the practical effects, though not groundbreaking, add a nice touch to the overall vibe of the film.
Features a charming lead performance.Good mix of comedy and crime elements.Interesting take on morality in a gangster setting.
