Rosalyn meanwhile has taken it upon herself to take care of the both of them - and has become a prostitute. Still the money she makes hardly covers the bills ...<p>Then one day, Bear (Dan Kuhlman), a small-fry gangster on the run, knocks on their door. Rosalyn refuses to let him in, but behind her back, Lilly, who talks Bear for a talking animal, gives him abode for the night. As a token of appreciation, Bear offers Rosalyn a deal that sounds like easy money, but ... <p> <p>A hauntingly beautiful little (as in 30 minutes) film, <b>Rose White</b> achieves the almost impossible and successfully blends the gritty realism of a crime drama with the darkly romantic atmosphere of a fairy tale to great effect (and on a budget, too). That's thanks to a directorial effort that keeps things subtle for the most part but doesn't shy away from pure kitsch if needed, and that favours atmosphere over spectacle, a wonderfully old-fashioned musical score, and of course an uniformly great cast.<p>Recommended! <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2012"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
