Maybe you had to be there. This was a hit on the stage. Did people care about adulterous army officers? Maybe Ralph Richardson and Margaret Leighton made them care.
Peter Sellers mugs. He made this a hit in England - he had a hot streak at the time. I like Sellers. At least I think I do. This was a hard slog. Leighton's in it, she can act. Dany Robin is fine, I suppose. I wanted a bigger star. John Fraser isn't up to it. Maybe neither was director John Guillermin. He whinged that the producers ruined it. But did they?
It looks handsome. Cyril Cusack is in it. And Prunella Scales. I didn't find it funny. Or that it had any point.
