Goodnight, My Love

About This Movie

Goodnight, My Love is one of those quirky gems that captures the gritty yet absurd atmosphere of the early '70s. Peter Hyams directs with a blend of humor and noir, bringing to life the hard-edged yet funny world of Francis Hogan, a detective with a knack for getting into trouble. The pacing is a tad uneven, which somehow adds to its charm, with Hogan's ever-hungry partner providing some delightful comic relief. The interplay of crime and comedy is anchored by solid performances, particularly from the leads, creating an engaging tension throughout. Plus, the practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that complements the film's offbeat vibe. It's definitely a unique watch, showcasing the era’s exploration of darker themes wrapped in a light package.
