Well worth the wait now that I have seen it!
9 February 2002
I am not going to spoil the films actual review or give anything away here....However, I thought the film has a good dramatic approach. Jack Palance has always been a wonderful villain in his choice rolls and you almost believe he IS the character that appears. His acting is so intense and full of excitement you have to expect it. Barbara Lang from what I know was a beginner in the film or Hollywood and her acting style is also natural. Despite the fact that she looks like Marilyn Monroe's younger sister (fantasy thought)she should have done more if it all. The first time I saw her in Party Girl 1958 she was breathtakingly beautiful. She moved on to pursue theatre and won a Drama Desk Award from critics for her supporting role in The Robber Bridegroom 1997 Broadway musical. I encourage anyone to see the film and if have read the actual novel of House of Numbers.....then you will be pleasantly surprised with the film itself. Check it out.....unforgettable and it was hard to find.
