Watch it for the music
21 August 2007
Better still, buy the soundtrack on CD. Dated, pretentious angst-ridden nonsense that is saved only partially by the fine music; and certainly not by an over-the-top Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner. I usually like Wood (not quite so sold on Wagner), but here she seems shrill and the whole film looks and feels awfully dated. I'd rate it just ahead of the truly criminal Subterraneans of the same year (with another of my usual favourites, Leslie Caron). That also had a great soundtrack, including the great Gerry Mulligan, but in it's case it wasn't enough to induce me to watch it all the way through.

This one I did, but I'm not sure it was worth the bother.
