For director Vincente Minnelli, writer Charles Schnee, producer John Houseman, and star Kirk Douglas, a ten-years-after followup to their The Bad and the Beautiful (footage from which goes into the film-within-the-film). It's a bit strained, a bit borderline-hysterical; and perhaps the changes in the film industry over a decade, the changes in cinematic fashion, the increasing influence of Cinecittà, have served to undermine the earlier film's comfy-cozy quality -- not a bad thing. Nor is the widescreen color photography (Milton Krasner) in European locales. Adapted from an Irwin Shaw novel; with Cyd Charisse, Edward G. Robinson, George Hamilton. (1962) — Duncan Shepherd
