Why "The Watermelon Woman" is Just as Powerful 30 Years Later
This movie will always resonate with queer people, for as long as queer people exist.
Murder on the Yellow Brick Road (2005)
A pretty young songbird found murdered on Hollywood Boulevard. The crusty old Private Eye who was in love with her. A smooth-talking seductress who hires him to solve the crime. A bulldog detective with a nose for the truth and a leash held by city hall. A long list of suspects with a long list of alibis. A sprinkling of dirty secrets. A zest of clever lies. These are the ingredients of an homage to the PI films of Hollywood's Golden Age.
