I did not dislike this film, I hated it. I never thought I would write anything like this about a film starring Robert Mitchum and directed by Minelli. Mitchum sleep walks through this trash and Minnelli seem to have lost his touch. The toxic masculinity that expresses itself in NRA style gun worship, the measuring of manhood by how many animals you can kill for "sport," crude conversation and "jokes," and whoring tells you everything that is poisonous about American gender politics. Hamilton, a ten-cent James Dean in this film, is at least trying to act. The others are cartoons. Recommended for fans of ghastly 1950s interior decorating and vulgarity and toxic men. The others should watch something, anything, worth watching.
