Overview
In 1949 composer Roman Strauss is executed for the vicious murder of his wife Margaret with a pair of scissors. In 1990s Los Angeles a mute amnesiac woman shows up at an orphanage and private eye Mike Church is called in to investigate. Under hypnosis both the woman and Church seem to have a strange link back to the Strauss murder.
I I get what this movie was going for – it just seemed to be way more style than substance. I think that the only thing that kept this movie from being no different than an 80’s tv movie was the presence of Emma Thompson. Very disappointing.
