Isn't Nicholson WAY too old for his role?
I never read the book but I did see the 1946 version. I heard they changed the book considerably (but they had no choice--the Hays Code wouldn't stand for an uncensored version) but Garfield and Turner were great and REALLY had great sexual chemistry. I heard this version is more faithful to the book--but how old IS Frank in the book? Nicholson is a great actor but he seems far too old for his role. Also the "steamy sex scene" on the kitchen table wasn't steamy it all. It came across as pretty violent and VERY unsexy.
