It's hard to believe that so much combined talent results in such a poor movie. Did the John Huston of Maltese Falcon and Sierra Madre really direct this turkey? And the magnificent Paul Newman consented to act (well, barely) in this snooze fest? It starts to make more sense when you know Huston and cast made this purely for contractual reasons. And boy, does it show.....Nobody's even faintly trying to create any suspense. Everybody involved seems to be sleepwalking through the thin plot until the predictable ending. There is absolutely nothing that stands out about this film. It's not even bad enough to be interesting, just dull beyond belief. Only recommended to cure insomniacs.
