Douglas: Conviction(s) playing Ulysses

With all the hoopla in making a classic foreign flic with all the difficulties in dubbing-the language barrier-there is the feeling which Douglas assumes the mantle of the title character.

Watching this movie for a long time(60 yrs.),Kirk is convincing as the King of Ithaca ! His emotions range well,exhibited on his face when he chokes up or when the temper is set off...it is all there. Kirk is earning his salary ! He is in the role that after viewing countless roles of his,this emerges as a strong favorite.Perhaps,I shall continue this critique more fully at another time...

I agree. He is really believable in this role, as the clever king of Ithaca. From his own headstrong will to being almost heart broken upon finally returning home and listening to Penelope.

Sig, you want a sig, here's a SIG-sauer!

Headstrong is the key..
