6/10
worth a see
12 January 2012
I happened to channel surf onto the very beginning of this on TCM and was so intrigued I stuck with it. First of all it was filmed in Panavision, so the color quality and the aspect ratio were stunning. Today's movies just don't look this good. And the cast - how can you go wrong with Natalie Wood, Ruth Gordon, Christopher Plummer, Robert Redford and Roddy MacDowell? The movie is a tad long and could have benefited from some editing and does seem to stall in a couple of places, but on the whole it's a well-done portrayal of the how the Hollywood studio system can chew up a young person. I can't figure out why this flick doesn't get more air time but it's good entertainment.
