Valutazione di JOHNBATES-1
... but without Edward Ablee's Pulitzer Prize winning touch. Taylor is firing on all eight cylinders again, as she did against Burton's George. This time 'George' is a remote, self-centered, enterprising individual and often on mute control around his tiger wife.
You quickly get a belly full of Taylor's ranting and antics - but there are real performance gems strewn around. And you wonder why in the world York's character with her quiet temperament and lifestyle would risk getting consumed alive by two battling idiots. If it was for the excitement, a crash landing was her sad reward.
Nevertheless, this forgotten film is worth watching just to see the three talented principals on the same set together go through their paces.

Certainly with a cast of this caliber, you expect much, much more. Maybe the problem is with the uninspired directing, awkward screenplay, thin story line and some very choppy editing. Maybe all the money was spent on the stars' salaries giving it a low, low production budget feel. Maybe Burton and Taylor should have quit acting together after 'Virginia Woolf.' But something sure went wrong with this project.
The cassette version I watched recently was just under 102 minutes of running time, but the cassette itself was labeled 108 minutes. Makes you wonder what was left out. I saw this film when it originally played in 1972 and could see no differences between that version and the cassette. So who knows what went on here. Maybe it was just meant to be a quickie, 'What the hell. Let's make it anyway.' turkey.

While a galactic super agent named Lemmy Caution is moving about like a mouse in a puzzling maze, we are treated to dialogue based on yet another dreary, circuitous stab at intellectualizing existence.
Part of this is delivered from a master computer brain issuing various malign pronouncements and conducting interrogations in a voice that sounds like having a conversation with the drain in your kitchen sink. Actually, it's a wonderful touch.
As low buck as this movie is, it's beatnik crafting stays with you.
