Why I watched this one? A Sean Connery movie made after he hit it big with James Bond....and I was not even aware of it. Had to check it out.
What is this one about? Tyrannical but ailing tycoon (Ralph Richardson) becomes very fond of his attractive nurse (Gina Lollobrigida). Gina however falls in love with Ralph's nephew (Sean Connery), who plots ways to gain control of his uncle's fortune.
My thoughts on this one? Although the pace of this movie is deadly slow...I really enjoyed this movie. The performances by the three leads are outstanding! Ralph Richardson somehow gets us to really really dislike him at the beginning of the movie....but by the end of the movie he might be the most likable character in the movie. Lollobrigida has many fine moments in the movie as well. Sean Connery's performance is the reason to check out this movie. It is a Connery that I have never seen in a movie before and is fascinating to watch. Add the performances to an interesting plot with some twists and turns and you have a movie that is recommended.
