I had never seen this movie until last night and I have to admit I was disappointed. Although the story is OK, there wasn't the same vibe that we got from the Rock Hudson and James Garner films of a few years earlier. The good points were Brian Keith, who puts in a nice quiet performance (despite him not being a favourite of mine) and one or two of the 'rest of cast' actors. About half way through, I said to my wife it would have been a lot better if James Garner had played the Brian Keith part, and she instantly agreed. Maybe the time for this type of movie was passing, maybe the earlier films had been so good that nothing could repeat the formula. OK to pass the time, but once was enough.
