Odd flick. When Stanwyck is on the screen, it positively smolders--she is the only reason to see this. Mediocre screenplay and direction, and a lot of sub-par acting. Jane Fonda, in one of her first movies, said of this, "Acting with Laurence Harvey is like acting by yourself - only worse." Fonda hadn't quite found her center as an actress yet--she didn't seem to know what to do with all that intensity. Capucine can't really, you know, act, and she and Harvey have NO chemistry whatsoever.

Very brave for a 1962 film, but some of the casting and performances miss the mark.

Decent melodrama that unfortunately has its less interesting characters as its leads. Fonda and Stanwyck really own the film, and while they play important roles, they aren't the main focus to the film's detriment. It all meanders a bit at times--very uneven and drags at points.
