An incredibly dull premise. A bunch of heavy-handed speechifying and simplistic class distinctions. Heston does a lot of jutting out his chin and delivering his lines with zero conviction. Scott is entirely uninteresting as a "bad girl" whose primary vice is a mild materialist streak. The script is just awful and photographically, the film is a dud. There's no tension, no real conflict, no doubt about how everything's going to turn out okay in the end. Bad for you, bad for me, bad for everyone.
