This is apparently a seminal classic, but I’ve only just come across it.
It has surprisingly good pacing, acting, and writing for the time. Interestingly, it was directed by John Huston, who I personally knew from voicing Gandalf in the 1977 Ralph Bakshi animated Lord of The Rings movie, so that was a fun surprise!
The direction this one goes surprised me a few times, and I’m glad I saw it. Would recommend.
Hope you enjoy it! ^^
Also, I learned that the rich guy with the cigar at the beginning of the film is, in fact, a cameo of John Huston!
