re: hopeless preposterous melodramatic trash

7.3????
This movie is a preposterous, ludicrous and an improbable cinematic venture.
Not worthy of Otto and the well known actors who participated.
Nothing holds up, the dialogue, the thin plot, the story has enough twist to tangle an escape artist.
Nothing is plausible...the final attempt at reconciliation...makes Mitchum look ridiculous.
Horribly melodramatic and unrealistic writing results in an inconsequential movie.
And the ending...geez...so predictable.
How could filmmakers of this caliber accept to a project like this is beyond the insipid.
