The incomparable Peter O'Toole is the only reason to watch this film. Apparently released in 1980, it seems even more dated to me (like the middle or early 1970s) The movie is long and complicated and moves rather slowly in some ways.
I could do without Barbara Hershey and her Stuntman all together. I can see why mega-producer Eli Cross (O'Toole) would be using his employees for cannot fodder by having complete control over their existence.
O'Toole is a legend and deserved his Best Actor Oscar nod for this thing, and he would have won had the supporting film/cast been better.
If you want better O'Toole fare, go try Lion in Winter (1968) and of course Lawrence of Arabia (1962).
