I really liked this film with the exception of the ending. Robert Taylor was fantastic! I think he was a far better actor than the credit he received during his lifetime. Sadly, very good looking stars don't usually get the meatiest parts because the industry and their fans only want to seem them because of their good looks and sex appeal. Taylor was nearing the end of his career and his life in this film and his performance was outstanding. The story was interesting and if you like seeing those familiar old character actors whose names you don't know, this film is loaded. I thought the script was excellent with a few comedic touches that demonstrated Taylor's ability as a solid actor. He also had a very commanding voice which added to the drama. As usual, he seemed very relaxed (as one) with his role. Tina Louise was excellent, as was the young Jack Lord, the former of Gilligan's Island and the later know for the original Hawaii 50. This black and white film is well worth seeing....with the exception of the end.
