This was painful for Merle Oberon fans. It had to be unbearable to see a star of talent, beauty and grace stoop to a role unworthy of her.
The plot is blurry, the direction is blurry and her face is so blurry her stand in could have done the role. The entire production seems to be soaking in KY jelly - just like the real life relationship between the costars.
The dialogue is tiresome and droll even for the 1970s Also, I don't understand all these stories about older people becoming empowered by humping people a generation younger. Doesn't that imply the younger person is a trophy? That a partner their own age is a compromise? Talk about ageist subtext!.
This film and marriage ended up killing poor Merle six years later.
