Kevin

Stylish black and white gambling movie based in France in the early 1960's. Interesting night filming and set designs. Acting was okay. Good jazz club music and scenes, but somewhat repetitive song. Great trumpet improvising. Nice camera work, but story did drag on, and ending was a little weak.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
