Title: Story good -- art direction terrible
Review: Story and acting were great. Loved the development of the plot.Art direction: costumes, hair, make-up were all late 70's/early 80's in style. In the opening shot, I was wondering if this would be a flashback movie with the big-named actors only bookending the real movie--I was wrong. Every lapel was the wrong size. Dresses were not 40's, but 80's. Men's haircuts were wrong. They were blow-dried--how anachronistic. Even the mustaches were the wrong size for the era. It sort of felt like a Magnum PI or the A-Team episode.
