111 minute running time so maybe could have trimmed 10 minutes or so… Kirk Douglas is great but this is dark stuff from Shmuel Vildr … cashing in on tragedy … took me several nights to watch it because I had to take breaks from it … probably due in part to the quarantine, so my mood isn’t as chipper as usual … cynical newspaperman Chuck Tatum going to get back to New Yawk from the boondocks one way or another … good old 1950s misogyny to boot … I’m going to hold off from recommending this one for now, though during brighter times I imagine I’d quickly give it a green-go rating. John Farr did anyway.
