So Long Johnson

There are a few cynical digs at American meddling in oil-producing states in the Middle East. But the appearance early on of Jay Novello rolling his eyes indicate what direction we'll be going in this slick retread of 'The Wages of Fear' in which the stirring footage shot by the second unit fights a losing battle with scenes that look as if they were shot on the same soundstage as 'Star Trek'.

Yul Brynner adds yet another still-life to his gallery of mysterious non-Europeans, while Madlyn Rhue fresh from playing a young jewess in 'A Majority of One' here plays a nice Arab girl. Jack Warden convincingly plays an Ugly American, but Lynn Murray's noisy score feels obliged to keep reminding us this is all taking place in the Middle East.

Most of the bit players (including our old friend Vladimir Sokoloff) are dubbed; except of course the authentic Anglo-Saxon who briefly appears unbilled as 'Johnson'.
