This movie was hard to watch despite its relative short run time because of a script that could have better written as it had some long drawn out dialogue and some scenes dragged on too long. The actors all did a decent job considering what they had to work with and the chemistry between Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood was superb as they were married at the time to each other plus the cinematography was excellent.
