Not bad. But not too good either. This movie imho exemplifies the type of movie that many modern critics say is so great because of all the artsy-fartsy scene setups and camera effects that are there just to be...well...overly artsy. The movie pretty much failed at the box office, and I can see why. The critics may love it with their heavy emphasis on the artistic elements. But this movie, like many other movies of this general type, needs more simple entertainment value...more appeal for movie audiences rather than the critics.
My score also reflects that I don't see Robert Mitchum as the great actor many do. He's okay. But he can't as the top billed lead actor make me enjoy a movie on his merit alone.
PB Rating: 5/10 |

He has a very interesting life story.
I really enjoyed this one by him.
