Just another mess in one sloppy screenplay that, as I noted, leaves the star hiding under a bed during the entire damn climax. <br /><br />Warden’s line about Venice is great. Probably the film’s biggest laugh. Unfortunately, 30 seconds before the end.

One of my sleepers from 1981, along with ...ALL THE MARBLES. <br /><br />Warden improvised the famous line from the top of the stairs, but not his observation on the streets of Venice. I have the original script around here somewhere. <br /><br />Different strokes, I guess. I thought Kiel was well-used, I certainly never expected to see him disco dancing or lip synching along with "Walk Like a Man" in front of gawking diners. After that, seeing him as Othello wasn't all that unexpected in the finale. :) Melato was talented, but just didn't have many good opportunities in American films. I liked her here too.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-19679382647216947372018-02-11T13:49:32.690-06:002018-02-11T13:49:32.690-06:00Ryan O'Neal spent most of his career wasting h...Ryan O'Neal spent most of his career wasting his talent.
