... and it was all the dog's fault!
28 April 2008
A snappy enough feature teaming Shelley Winters with Farley Granger, as a newly-married couple still living with the mother-in-law from hell. He accidentally acquires a dog which she assumes is an anniversary present, when 'Archie' is a prop for a criminal gang to find some booty.

You can see the pattern here. Everyone who wants the dog back gets murdered - and our hapless husband is always there, leaving his visiting card behind (!), while the Irish policeman (who calls everyone O' something or other, ho ho, not a stereotype there then) doesn't believe a word ...

With character players like Elisha Cook Jr, Francis L Sullivan, Han Conreid, and the like, this film is fun to watch, but ultimately a little lightweight.
