It does feel oddly angled, though--very pro-management/pro-capitalist, which would seem to be at odds with the majority of its potential audience.<br /><br />But the cast is very good, and very good in the roles.<br /><br />This is Attenborough's movie, but in a lot of ways, Michael Craig's character is the one who changes the most, and thus in a literary sense is the central character.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-6941167741515812372020-07-06T19:12:40.103-05:002020-07-06T19:12:40.103-05:00It's been a while since I've seen this so ...It's been a while since I've seen this so I'm a little hazy on the particulars, though your synopsis brought some of it back, but I did find it involving and at times frustrating but ultimately worth seeing.<br /><br />Attenborough is always worth watching, delving into his earlier films has been a real treat since until fairly recently all I was familiar with were his I guess you could call them elder statesman roles post Jurassic Park. A very insightful and varied actor. <br /><br />I've also become a fan of Michael Craig as I seen more of his work. I knew him mostly from the Susan Hayward starred Stolen Hours and while his range isn't as broad as Attenborough's he can be a facile performer. <br /><br />Sorry to say I don't remember Pier Angeli in the film at all but most of the time that tragic beauty exuded a wounded wariness which sounds like it would fit her role her well. <br /><br />Since it's been so long and I like all the performers I should give it another go should the opportunity present itself. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
