One secret not worth knowing, 6 May 2005

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This turgid, talky, and static widescreen adventure stars Rory Calhoun as an all-American hero in search of buried treasure. Unfortunately for Rory, he's doing this in the 17th (or very early 18th) century, and seems completely out of place with his late 1950s greasy quiff. This paint by numbers feature looks quite nice--though the day for night cinematography frequently leaves something to be desired--and is mired in bland dialogue and unimaginatively choreographed action sequences. Clifton Parker's predictable score sounds like leftovers from a television series. About the only saving grace is a cheeky performance by the great Sam Kydd--here sounding remarkably like Parker from The Thunderbirds--as Alfred, a loyal servant who helps our hero find the treasure.
