Blobbo X Nicely done variation on the theme of the traveling salesman and the farmer and his 3 daughters. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review JASON H Besides one weird scene at the very beginning of the movie which I guess understanding the era it takes place in I'd say a pretty solid film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Alec B At first glance, its easy to see why both Siegel and Eastwood were attracted to the material but the final product is quite unique in both of their filmographies. It's a melodrama and also a sexual thriller but one that's ultimately focused on fantasy/memory. I can see why it bombed, by the bleak ending the movie has alienated just about every potential mainstream audience member. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Tera K This is one of my favorite films of all time! It's perfect in every way, the performances are great and it's just so much fun! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Logan M One of the oddest and most disturbing films Eastwood has ever made. Also one of the best. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review isla s First off, I thought this was much better than the recent remake. It is quite sinister and has a more tense feeling than I think the newer version had. Its quite unsettling, with the actions of the young women, going behind each others backs, being quite intriguing. Eastwood gives a fairly solid performance as the main character, the injured soldier who is quite mysterious and does appear to have some perhaps not entirely admirable intentions. Its one of those films in which the scenes where little is said are maybe more noticeable and tells the viewer more than those in which there is a lot of dialogue. I liked the incidental music, it does well at enforcing the tense and unsettled atmosphere and makes the viewer feel perhaps a little more edgy, as well as putting across a sense of claustrophobia. Its interesting in terms of the psychology, with various characters clearly going behind others backs, perhaps seeking different things. This is quite a thoughtful and subtle but sinister film, although it is somewhat slow, its not what I'd consider a traditional scary film, or even necessarily a 'regular' psychological drama. Its mostly a slow thriller or a drama with a good undercurrent I suppose. I'd recommend this film, yes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
