..for its time, in 1981.
This film fear or ese four great classic actors from the early age of cinema, with Astaire, Douglas Jr, and Fairbanks...but I only recall Houseman from The Paper Chase. It's a good premise from the novel itself, howeber, the film should have never included the characters of Gregory Bates or the boy with him, which is why I gave it 7 of 10.
Both Wasson and Krige add a continuous flow to the movie, yet I would have liked to have seen more of their storyline more intermixed with the older gentlemen as a whole, not with just Astaire alone.
Overall, the movie is very surreal and reads like a novel in much of it, and here almost 40 years later, it can still stun the psyche to me.
