Review

Fake meedio Blanch have a customer who will give her 10.000 dollars if she finds a child of her dead sister so she could leave her patrimony to this child. Blanch and her boyfriend tries to figure out who is this missing person, but when they try to find out they will find that he have a gravestone on cemetary already but not all the pieces about his death seems to match.

This movie had a nice plot what was built well. Misunderstandings and wrong exceptations have dangerous results and it was not clear until the end what will happen to who. I liked it.

On technical level I was a little bit surprised how unrealistic car driving scene was even this movie was made on 1976. Somehow I associate this kind of style to much older movies, but of course I am not sure if that was just a stylistic choice or technical limitation what led to that kind of style.

All in all, this was a good movie.
