The casting is a little off, all along the front line -- Sue Lyon, James Mason, Shelley Winters, Peter Sellers, with the latter two, particularly, tripping into merry caricature. The excesses may be under director Kubrick's behest, for they are habitually his dish; still, despite a few mistaken dips into low comedy, Kubrick for once manages to inject a sturdy, severe realism into the milieu -- suburbia and its backyards and patios and parties, high school, motels. And the delicate playing of Lyon's last scene, with her startling new husband, makes up for any number of excesses. (1962) — Duncan Shepherd
