 Rating:  - Just terrible- truly awfulI'm probably going to pile up another heap of unhelpful votes by criticizing this moldy oldie, but this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I love older movies, but just just because something is in black-and-white doesn't mean it's a classic. While Novak and Harvey- like most old time movie stars- have a certain sophistication and maturity that is lacking in today's actors, this movie fails because nothing happens to their very uninteresting characters.

I got it because I really like Laurence Harvey and I remember how much I enjoyed the book when I read it years ago.

This was by far, the greatest old movie I have ever seen (besides "It's a wonderful life" lol) My personal favorite "present day" movies may be Natural Born Killers and those types of movies, but this one kinda hit home. If you have ever had a partner who has broke yer heart, you may be able to relate to this movie and enjoy it quite a bit. Browse for similar items by category:
