Rafi แก้ว M Oct 26 Although not perfect, this movie deserves a look. Lawrence Harvey changes personality in various dramatic and annoying ways, and Lee Remick is up to the task of putting up with him, till the end. Lots of great shots of Malaga, the Spanish Rivera, and the Rock of Gibraltar. Alan Bates is such a nice guy, and the ending leaves so much unanswered.
