Samuel West and Christian Anholt

Directed by Jerry Schatzberg

Starring: Jason Robards, Christian Anholt, Samuel West

Based on the novel by Fred Uhlman

Screenplay by Harold Pinter published in Collected Screenplays 2

Harold Pinter's script gets hold of our attention by purposely juggling with a time device he employed to great effect in Betrayal.

Schatzberg tells his story honestly and earnestly. Nothing should detract from the high-mindedness of his purpose to breathe a little reality into a Hollywood where the comic-strip view of the world currently reigns supreme.
