Kim Basinger, Jeff Bridges, and Rip Torn lift "Nadine" above the material provided. The script is transparent and without strong performances, "Nadine" would be long forgotten. This is partially due to the uneasy mix of drama and comedy. It is mostly slapstick, with smatterings of some very dark comedy. There is violence including, rattlesnakes on the loose. A flawless 50s atmosphere adds tremendously to the overall viewing enjoyment. In the end everything is tied together quite nicely, perhaps too nicely. A good movie for mixed company, but do not expect anything more than likable characters mired in an average story. - MERK
