Quote:
This low-budget, independent picture’s most significant point of interest is its writing pedigree — it’s based on a novel by hard-boiled favorite Ed McBain, with a screenplay by the best-selling novelist Harold Robbins. This contributes to a very schizophrenic result. The influence of the former is obvious in the police procedural framework, with some interesting shot-on-location scenes in Spanish Harlem and other NYC locales. The latter’s heavy hand is apparent in the overblown melodramatic scenes which especially mar the last couple of reels.Read More »
Description: After his family is murdered in the 1880s, orphan Jeb Rand (Robert Mitchum) is raised by the Callum family on their nearby horse ranch. He remains haunted by this childhood trauma in a recurring nightmare of flashing spurs and confinement inside a trap door as his family is slaughtered. Widow Callum (Dame Judith Anderson) does her best to make Jeb feel loved as he is growing up, but the young man stubbornly maintains a sense of his own identity. While he has great affection for his foster-sister Thor (Teresa Wright), his relationship with her brother Adam (John Rodney) is tenuous at best, especially when Jeb blames him for shooting a colt that he was riding.Read More »

Quote:
This movie is very funny, but lacks a plot (this can be justified by it’s title, meaning a sort of Who gives a f…). But considering our countries lack of financial support when it comes to film making, this one turned to be all right. And it truly has some exceptionally great scenes. A great summer movie.
It holds the 10th place in Slovenia according to visitors in cinema.Read More »

Between the forbidden romance, the journey of the Muslim leader, and the angry Tuaregs, there are no dull moments even if the tension is not exactly unbearable.Read More »
