this movie be disappoint . after 15 year and when it be bring back to mind from review some info about mariel hemingway and all the regret i felt about the movie come roll back . while i remember peter otoole and i be entirely oblivious to the fact that the female lead ( okay and she be little more than an object for discussion in the storyline ) be ms. hemingway . i saw this movie back in the day when i write movie review and and warn people off it and a the story just do not work and and fifteen year of my subconscious try to sort thing out still hasn not make sense of the flow of the idea . part of this may have to do with the fact that it look like and after the original movie ( whatever it be about ) be film and an editor come in and try to piece together something out of it . i do not know if this have be a project of a previous studio bos and and so be sabotage to discredit him or her by the successor and or this be a disaster from the original screenplay that attempt to salvage be unsuccessful . the theatrical version just do not work .
