Crime Does Not Pay is a film-within-a-film excursion into crime passionnel that pays off almost too generously with blood, plot and stars. After the 16th reel, so does the mind...
Behind her, sometimes as far as one reel back, a man (Marcello Mastroianni? Alain Delon? Eiji Okada?) appears. He is doing The Walk.
