Holed up in a hotel room with a case of money he has stolen from the mob a gumshoe awaits his fate. A shower door installation guy checks in to write a memoir on his experiences moonlighting as a portrait painter for pets owned by desperate housewives. Another resident is a lounge singer being stalked by a mobster who in turn has a fling with a call girl who does the rounds of the hotel dressed as a superhero. As the assortment of characters intertwine Hotel Noir materialises as a stylish period homage to hardboiled Hollywood and the unreliable nature of storytelling. The tapestry of conflicting inner monologues adds to a web of intrigue and the heavy atmosphere both sexy and fatalistic occasions a parade of star performers smouldering at their best.

I like that someone is still trying to make noir films, even though this one didn't succeed. Noir just can't be this fun. Ultimately, it's essentially just a comedy in pleasant black and white, with one major advantage - excellent casting, especially with the beautiful ladies, which makes it a pleasure to watch.
