the bad and and chock full of people who really ought to know good and ( the cast have six oscar between them ) . it set in contemporary africa and ( it be make in 1979 ) and and be about the slave trade . it appallingly script and act and ( michael caine and peter ustinov and william holden reach a career low in this one ) and and completely lacks excitement never mind any moral focus . it also ludicrously plot . you do not for a minute believe that any of the character would behave in the way they do under these circumstance . richard fleischer directs but you get the impression it be over the telephone . this be as bad a it get .
