If you like this film, you will love he HBO remake. If you want to watch the HBO version, make sure you have about eight hours (it's a miniseries.) One a personal note; I would knock Veda's teeth out if she were my daughter.

But have a personal preference for the hard boiled detective film noir. Even outside of personal preference, I can't give this five stars. The reaction to the death of the youngest daughter is so lame as to be farcical, I couldn't get past how casual everyone was about it. "Oh yeah I forgot to mention, she died...moving right along." However it's a great old Hollywood movie, and I agree with the basic premise of overindulgent parenting creating monsters.
