PUBLISHERS WEEKLY-Dolores Dare was once a starry-eyed ing�nue, fresh off the bus from Muncie with a heart full of Hollywood dreams. Today, she's an enforcer whose life is confined to Tinseltown's shadows. When an old friend shows up in a dumpster, however, the tension between Dare's past and present peaks-with violent results. Dare is embittered, exhausted, but ultimately hungry for justice. Though this midcentury noir treads familiar ground-slain starlets, mob bosses making their moves, intrepid journalists getting their hands dirty-Harvey (Batman) presents the story with style and verve. Levens (Madame Frankenstein) brings a wonderful visual weight to the cast: dresses drape luxuriously, suits strain at the shoulders, and the set lights throw the glamour and decay into sharp relief. This is Hollywood mystery at its most classic.
