(24,352 posts)1. I'd never seen Night Watch before!
I tuned in about half-way through, I think. That might have made it more of a mystery as I unraveled who was who, what their relationships were, what the backstory was. (Were those known from the start?)
Kind of dated, over-acted to the point of campy, and a plot that was a bit predictable, although I didn't anticipate the ending.
Now time for Gaslight -- can't count how many times I've seen this one, but with classics, there's always something new to discover!
