elizabeth taylor never could act at all and she be just her usual annoying and untalented self in this film . this be before she get so fat but she still look very short and dumpy . rock hudson be ok a bick benedict but clearly an actor with more range like william holden would have be well . james dean certainly prove he know how to mumble his way through a movie . the whole film be incredibly slow and go on for far too long . the actor be all too young and lightweight and none of them age convincingly due to the poor make up . hudson look ridiculous just be pad out and dean and carroll baker be obviously the same age . negative .
