Gets points for novely. Richard Harris stars and directs after driving awya the original director. A man and a boy story. Wolf Mankowitz wrote these - A Kid for Two Farthings. Shot in Israel. Apparently this was going to be shot in Italy. He was going to play a British player.
Here he's meant to be Israeli, I think. It's shot in Israel. Some nice scenes of the sea. Desert stuff less pleasing.
The kid is a whiner. I think we're meant to be touched by their relationship. But he nags the guy to play football. Sooks when Harris doesn't get the goal. It's hard, man.
Harris has a romance plot with Romy Schneider. She's a sculptor. There's all this scuplting. They yell at each other. Acting!
Harris looks terrible. He does pass for a sixties era athlete - to a degree.
It's a weird film. Feels messy. The kid and Harris, Romy and Harris.
