I like the review of this film by e-warn-1 and the historical details related on this IMDb site. William Norton's excellent script and expert direction by Lamont Johnson obviously structure this ambiguous and engaging film narrative. Every component of this film works for me.
Before this film, I did not know the work of actor Helmut Griem. He is a fine counterpoint here to one of my favourite actors Brian Keith. The story is credible. The look of the film is, for the most part, believable, though some mistakes do intrude but not enough to depreciate my appreciation of the work.
I do not need to replicate the plot summary. I scored the film highly because I enjoyed watching it. It is a crisp story but with pleasant ambiguity. I wanted to indulge in a little of the water of the Gods as I watched it. Next time, I hope I have some of that beverage.
