Once Upon a Crime...
455
Comedy. Mystery
Phoebe and fellow American Julian Peters meet in Rome, find a lost dog, and agree to return it to Monte Carlo to split the five thousand dollar reward. Discovering the dog's owner dead, they panic and become fugitives. Other victims of misfortune also become suspects, as the plot twists and luck and judgment desert everyone.

"Though it doesn't really work, there are enjoyable things about it." | ||||
"This frothy little comedy is a pleasant enough amusement. It's not a big belly-laugh of a comedy, but it's quickly paced, fun and entertaining." | ||||
"As a general rule, films whose plots revolve around lost dogs are apt to be short on comic inspiration, and this one is no exception." | ||||
"The plot is a mishmash of murder, cute pets, lost luggage, compulsive gambling and domestic disharmony, and has holes in it you could pilot a yacht through." | ||||
"Few pictures that start this well go so bad so fast." | ||||
"For about 15 seconds at the beginning, the new MGM film Once Upon a Crime is a thorough delight. Then that adorable little lion stops roaring" |
