Consider her lost
24 March 2024
John Eldridge (Wade) and Dorothy Patrick (Louise) team up to fleece lonely heart club members of their wealth. Eldridge puts himself forward as the dating bait and Patrick does her bit to ensure their plan brings in the money. She provides the most memorable sequence of the film set on a train and the funniest dialogue. When asked by Eldridge about her mission to "lose" their victim Ann Doran (Nancy), she replies that he can "consider her lost". Ha ha.

Unfortunately, the picture quality isn't great and we don't have any real emotional involvement in any of it as the film is very paint by numbers. This happens and then that happens and then this happens, etc and then it is the end.

It reminded me of a better film on a similar topic - "Honeymoon Killers" (1970) - which is based on truth. This could have been a good film with a better budget and longer running time.
