holden have a great eye for a good script and always choose interesting three dimensional character and interesting situation . other than this one and that be . terribly dated and talky psychological drama that go nowhere slow . one can only think holden be force to work on this picture and which hit you over the head with salvo after salvo of predictable psuedo psychological double talk and laughable exploration into hidden traumatic childhood incident intend to sensitively explicate present behavior in painfully simplistic term . there be much unintentional laughter and but this be not a fun or funny movie . the great lee j. cobb be particularly waste in a do nothing part . do yourself a favor and go rent bridge on the river kwai or sunset boulevard or stalag 17 and put this psychobabble snoozefest back on the shelf .
