Review of Frisco Sal

Frisco Sal (1945)
1/10
What a boring pile of crap
29 October 2016
Susanna Foster (Sally) turns up in Frisco and gets a job as a singer at a club owned by Turhan Bey (Dude). Alan Curtis (Rio) is the local gangster boss who clashes with Bey. We also get police captain Thomas Gomez (Dan) prowling around looking to bust some butts. The story concerns Foster trying to trace her brother.

My goodness me, how boring was that! After 45 minutes, there still isn't any story developing. I even fell asleep for a quarter of an hour during the second half and woke to Foster singing "Come all ye faithful" before the film continued in an extremely tedious fashion until its climax. The singing is the only ray of hope in this film and only when showgirl Collette Lyons (Mickey) is performing.

Before watching this film, I was watching an old repeat of a session of the European Parliament on the TV. That's why I put this film on – I needed entertaining. Well, give me the European Parliament. Way more interesting.
