1/10
A movie to be endured not enjoyed
11 December 2009
Seeking adventure from her dull but comfortable life Celia Lampshire played by Joan Benett makes a trip to Mexico, it is there she meets chillingly cold dumb dull boring completely charmless arrogant obnoxious and unpleasant Mark Lamphere played by Michael Redgrave.

For some reason these two hit it off, the chemistry between them is amazing but in the negative, if Lauren Bacall and Bogart were like introducing Nitro to Glycerin, then these two are like introducing Liquid to Nitrogen.

The musical direction is on a complete physco trip, in one scene Marks Sister is talking calmly and smiling to Celia next to her dressing table but the music is almost exploding (and awful).

The story is completely uninspired and simply too obvious to be entertaining it plods along wasting your time, but you will not care what happens either to him or her, or indeed why he is the self obsessed plonker that he is.
