So it's supposed to take place in the mid-1930 but many of the characters had a early 60s feel. Most of the tell was the late 50s, early 60s haircuts. May Britt looked more like Twiggy than a mid-30s young lady. And the music also reflected a early 60s feel as well. Most period pieces make a solid attempt to fit the period. But this one did not. It's an late 50's early 60s movie telling a story about the mid-30s.
Now, if you can get past that weird bizarre choice, then you can appreciate the acting of Peter Falk. As the psycho-killer, he did a fine job. Worth the watch for that reason alone.
