A Movie that People Love to Dismiss
I'm surprised about the low ratings and poor reviews. It's not that bad.
Allmovie Guide calls it overcooked melodrama but I would say that e.g. Shakespeare's Hamlet is much more melodramatic and overcooked.
The story always made sense and kept me involved without touching too much.
I always like Keach and Welles and the score is from the great Ennio Morricone.
