Dull. Ambitious. But dull. Michael Thornhill may have watched a lot of movies but clearly hadn't learned how to create drama.
There's intelligence on display here. It's different. We get World War One but the hero is a doctor. We glimpse psychology after the war, the rise of the New Guard. German internships. That's interesting.
A little bit.
The hero, Corin Redgrave (love the voice... but could not an Aussie have played this?) is regressive, passive. He has a fling with a sexy dame but it's not very sexy. Neither is his marriage to Judy Morris.
It's weird this film was written, and financed. I mean, was Frank Moorhouse that big a name? Michael Thornhill?
