If you can get past not seeing Charlton Heston in his usual stereotypical, larger than life epic roles you may enjoy seeing him take a turn at a modern drama as a normal human.
This movie is "very late 60's style" which is fun to watch now with it's flashback scenes and sixties lingo.
Great supporting cast and good chemistry all around. It's also neat seeing Heston in his sexier than usual love scenes.
Heston's performance is solid. You can feel his pain and bitterness. I highly recommend this film for Heston fans, sports fans and sixties film buffs.
