In Claire Decker, there was a strong central character who sustained the action in investigating the mysterious death of a dynamic woman named Jessica.
Claire made clever use of disguises in her quest to locate Jessica's killer. But in dressing up like Jessica, using her lipstick and perfume, Claire also was enjoying experiencing a fetish that could endanger her due to forces she cannot control.
Some of the best scenes occurred in the chic Rex Hotel bar in San Francisco. It is there that Claire encounters a woman who appears to be a distraction, and their cavorting leads them to a night club and then to a hotel room to spend the night together. That sequence figures prominently in unlocking the secret life led by Jessica.
There was some great location footage of San Francisco, as well as a fine supporting cast. Even the small roles, such as the wise Theresa and the kind young man who safeguards Claire's suitcase were well detailed.
There was a riveting climax in an extended, intense one-on-one conversation, as well as an imaginative denouement in which the astute investigator Claire apparently discovers that she had been outfoxed.
