Author(s): Sam North
Date: 15-12-06
   
Synopsis: A man who wants to sing and who's with the wrong woman. And a woman who wants rid of her stalking husband come together in this steamy tale set in Savannah.
   
Appraisal: Rich in atmosphere and setting, 'Got it Bad' feels like a classic romantic movie of the thirties. Jazz figures strongly and the relationship angle is excellent, as is the underlying tension from the ex husband.
