Serious cineasts, GO AWAY! Watch this film for the pure pleasure of getting down and dirty in a potboiler. Lust! Greed! Passion! Murder! Seduction! Even MAFIA!
And see Laurence Olivier ham it up like crazy with the goofiest accent you'll ever hear!
Oh, yeah. I forgot ... Hate! Fear! Wealth! Decadence!
