I just saw this movie for the first time last night. Guess it
wasn't exactly like the original, director's cut or some such
nonsense. Loved Orson Welles. Who was the good-looking
cantina girl, sorta opposite Orson? It was good but I didn't
think it was great. I thought the part where Vargas's wife
was stuck at the motel was awkward and less than convincing.
My guess is that some of those scenes might have been
added.
I was amused when Janet Leigh called the Mexican gangster a
"Little Caesar" at the beginning, a movie I just watched a
few days ago.
I understand this movie comes near the end of the
"classic" noir movies. I checked the imdb site to make sure
the movie was on-topic. Evidently it is adapted from a book
by Whit Masterson by the same name.
