Hello,

Not as yet. Wrote a companion script based on forties 'screwball comedies' but have yet to get a producer interested. Do look at my other film 'Caitlin'.Many thanks for your comment.

Decent script delivered subpar by a contrived performance. They care too much, and smoke too little. There's not enough "been there done that" cynicism here. You get a sense their silver screen predecessors could survive the mean streets, while these guys would have trouble in Mayberry.

Hello, Thanks for the obsevations. Indeed what is missing are those true gritty film noir edges - but this is intended to be a spoof. The humour is within the fast plot dialogue which actually leads nowhere.
