i be a big robert mitchum fan but even i couldn not sit through this one . everyone act a if theyre asleep . they show the entire range of emotion from grim to grim . after the first half i give up and fast forward to the unsatisfying conclusion . this be the slow moving plot you will ever see in your life and as near a i could tell none of any of the character motivation be reveal until the final scene . since all these star have do great work elsewhere i guess the blame lie with the director and the script . just give this movie a pas and go watch any other mitchum film .
