Guy Hamilton directing James Mason, Vera Miles and an underused (much to our sorrow) George Sanders.

Pseudo-sophisticated. Aiming for the US market, I guess. A real bore. And Mason and Miles are very, very bad, here. (Almost winking at the camera, the horror.)

Comédie chichiteuse et péteuse, pseudo-audacieuse, pseudo-cynique, profondément vulgaire. Décidément, James Bond tend les bras à Hamilton.

On ne voit presque pas Sanders, et Mason et Miles sont mauvais comme tout. Et je ne vous parle pas du désir qu'ils semblent s'inspirer mutuellement, je ne vous en parle pas parce que c'est un des grands absents du film.

Pouah, dégoûtant. Ne croyez pas un mot des dithyrambes hyperboliques donnés par les
reviewers sur IMDb.

I'm sorry, but I just can't imagine James Mason giving/delivering a bad performance...

Give this movie a try, then, cl82. And tell me. Even if you're left embarrassed, like I have been.
