Another book to movie conversion gone astray., 7 July 2008

James Hadley Chase,among other writers, was well renowned for his
ability to capture the readers attention from the beginning to end in
all of his crime-thriller novels. That is where the difficulty sets in,
can the director and crew capture the same in the movie? The story
starts off with the arrival of an American gambler (Nick-George Raft)
at a Mediterranean town of San Paola. Soon he gets acquainted with Kay
(Coleen Gray) and finds himself framed for a murder, forcing him to go
on the run with her. So far so good yet this is the turning point of
the movie. Instead of going the edge of your seat 'why and who?' it
turned into mediocrity. Overall, had the potential to be a great movie
and could have rivaled movies like The Fugitive (1993) had a bit more
suspense/tension been pumped into the screenplay and other movie making
aspects.
