There is nothing interesting going on, in what is basically a two-person, one-set play.
I'm not sure I fault either Taylor or Beatty. The Barrymores couldn't have salvaged this one.
There's simply no reason to get invested in either character. In the (fake) Las Vegas setting. The dull camera work. And the farcically bad score - surely Jarre's worst of all time. I'd like to think he sub-contracted it to an intern.
The play lasted 16 performances before folding. I'd be shocked if this film last 16 nights in the theatre.
