An awesome shocker in every truly great way. DECOY is a slow burner and when Its pace gathers and the pieces of the story (and Jean Gillie's astonishing character performance) come together.......well I wish I was in a big audience for that collective revelation and reaction. I guarantee the last half an hour is enough to have anyone gobsmacked at her behaviour. The version I saw is the grainy TV print from Europe, so to see DECOY in a new print in a cinema with a crowd would be one of the great events you could want. I want it - and this just confirms again why I love Monogram Pictures. This film is worth the hunt....and Godard was right. Read all the other rave comments for the storyline... but do not miss this Monogram 1946 DECOY under any circumstances!
