preposterous twaddle execute in a bewilderingly amateurish and inept way or perhaps several since the incredible lack of continuity and tone and realism and plausibility and suspense and and much more combine with walter pidgeon bovine attempt at charm to produce a cinema curiosity to rank with some of fritz lang other stupendous failure . ( i think the german ambassador be actually play by lang but apparently not they could have be twin . ) if you can not predict the end from several timezones away and you be not actually alive . i be eagerly await this dvd and be totally surprised and disappoint by such dire crap ( even with george sander and john carradine maybe i can wash my mind out by watch viaggio in italia instead and for the umpteenth time ) . anyone want a dvd use once . ( there may be a movie to be make about the making of this atrocious film and how so many talented people could be waste so completely . ) .
