What starts out as a promising character study of a small pack of lost souls becomes buried under Miller's terrible script. The dialogue has a theatricality to it that it doesn't earn. Characters are constantly speaking in philosophical quips, introspective musings and symbolic observations. Huston's direction fails to leave an impression, and the film's score is overdone. There's a lot of wasted potential here, with an intriguing cast of characters. A film that deserved to be better than it is.

Deeply sad film on so many levels. Life seems to imitate art. Monroe had come to believe Gable was her father and Clift was struggling with a disfiguring accident and substance misuse. Three misfits who struggle to find meaning in their lives - art or reality you decide. Gable and Monroes last film and the start of Clift's decline. Damaged lives. Slowish plot, deeply thoughtful but too little action for todays taste. - Moving.

Didn't care for this one...shame when it was Gables & Monroes last film

sad, but great film.

It's dark and interesting with good performances and a strong script. Except for the strong ending none of it stands out much though, just a very good interesting movie.

so many people see this as a sad movie, but i didn't find it too sad. i did think it was a pretty decent watch, somber yes, sad no. the only real problem is that it's fairly impossible to relate to any of the characters and they just dont seem to have their minds made up on how they feel or what they believe.

Sad and interesting, especially considering the real life tragedy that surrounded it.
