Good v.Bad and Inbetween - Someone to Watch Over Me review by Cato
A good, if somewhat unlikely plot, it was good watching on a cold windy night, especially as we were watching Manhattan in the winter. The music seemed a little over the top at times, rather like it was a test to tell which opera each of the pieces were taken from. The nasty was very nasty (Andreas Katsulas), looking very Dracula like, and the whole thing was very well done, but now looked it's thirty plus years.
