I watched the UK theatrical cut on the Indicator BD (exclusive to the boxset). I want to like this one; I've always wanted to like it. There are certainly good things in it but the awkward script, pacing problems, and performances that are variable - to say the least - make it a difficult film to love. The biggest problem is that male leads Macdonald Carey and Alexander Knox are way too old and way, way too unappealing for their romantic scenes with Shirley Anne Field and Viveca Lindfors (who is excellent) to be anything other than creepy.
