Last
Chance
The Russian
princess married to Fred, they run a motel (Stateline Motel, L’Ultima
chance).
Jewel robbers lam
out of Montreal, heading for the border. One cracks up (Le Salaire de la
peur) and stays at the motel.
The other comes
looking for him.
The jewels are in
a Raggedy Ann (The Night of the Hunter).
The ending
reveals the powerful analysis all along, a nice young couple purloin the
jewels, the police arrive.
The princess’s
grandfather killed Rasputin, “but then there was Stalin, things always go from
bad to worse.”
Gabor Pogany,
cinematographer. Luis Bacalov, score.
Filmed in Canada,
home of Vixen.
