    ustinov and mitchum in some family viewing morality trip. despite that it's very watchable
  • July 28, 2009
    Impressive story on a grand scale. Poignant, always interesting and the entire cast is outstanding. Glynis Johns and Deborah Kerr in particular stand out. Kerr and Mitchum have an excellent rapport on film. Fine cinematography and it has a very effectively slow pace.

    This is a very good solid movie. Has all the elements, and leaves you thinking "what a great story."
  • October 6, 2008
    Beautiful scenery and good performances but entirely to long.
