What do you think she meant when she said “a huge black monster with giant claws”?
A strange, nasty, almost silly noir transposed to the Midwest that, despite the odds, works superbly well. Instead of rain-drenched city streets, spacious fields of wheat. Instead of a femme fatale in a seedy apartment, a femme fatale in a houseboat. Instead of a shoot-out in a gin joint, a bloodbath at a county fair.
Certainly the only movie in which a Cadillac gets devoured by a thresher.
