too long


this movie is too long, takes about 30 minutes just to get to where tyrone power is an adult. it really drags with all that back story. curious since darryl f zanuck himself produced this film, an acknowledged genius of story and pacing. notice that george reeves has a small part in this, obviously not enough to keep him from killing himself about 15 yrs later.

Agreed! The beginning was excruciatingly long & boring. I sat through the first 20 minutes and got nothing out of it, so I fast-forwarded until Hayworth comes in (an hour into the movie) to see if it'd get any better. It did become interesting then and I'm glad I watched what I did. I never skip through movies, but I just had to on this one...

Too short.

Apparently some people need car chases or graphic sex and violence to hold their interest.
