Youngblood Hawke is the pen name for James Franciscus, an aspiring writer. The film boasts a strong supporting cast with Suzanne Pleshette, Eva Gabor, Mary Astor, John Dehner, Mildred Dunnock and Edward Andrews. But what drags this film down is the fact that James can't act and his affair with a married woman, Genevieve Page, is not only boring, but depressing, too. And, add the fact that the film talks you to death with little to no action, and you get this mess. The film drags and drags and drags and you feel beaten to death and down-trodden by the end. And the film is so long at almost two hours and a half. Of course, Suzanne Pleshette is a knockout, and it's always nice to see her. But she can't salvage trash by herself.
