Suture Movie Review

Suture is all about two guys who are almost identical twins, the “almost” being the centerpiece of another one-joke movie although it most certainly does not qualify as a deliberate comedy (at least I don't think so). In any event, I didn't get the joke. The film's conceit is that no one notices the extremely obvious difference between the two of them. I'd give Suture one bone for its concept and three bones for its look, which is impressive, thanks to superb black-and-white cinematography by Greg Gardiner. The presence of elegant Dina Merrill in the cast adds a touch of class to this very weird flick.
