Phil Yordan had success adapting a sexy novel with God's Little Acre so did this one too. It's not very good. It's dull. It tries. Who cares about the book. Some sex but tame. Christopher Knight can't act. I think his voice is dubbed. Poor Jack Nicholson is in it as a mate - how must he have felt. Frank Gorshin is in it. Venetia Stevenson too. People like Dick Foran.
The film is full of talent. Yordan, Nicholson, Haskell Wexler, Jerry Goldsmith.
Like I say it tries. It's just not a compelling story. Lots of voice over to cover it. There's confessing to the priest at the end - Yordan used this in Edge of Doom and The Bravadoes.
