Brando regains the peak of his magnificent talent. After his series of six or seven disastrous performances, even his admirers had given him up for lost. But it was too soon.

Brando gives perhaps his worst ever screen performance, not counting Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.

All that remains praiseworthy is the film's extraordinary photographic technique.

Such a unique motion picture experience that it's no wonder it flopped with moviegoers and most critics.
