The launch of some brilliant careers., 11 May 2001
9/10
Author: mikeschiffrin from Winter Park, Florida

This film is a real sleeper. It launched some brilliant careers, especially that of Ben Gazzara. But also those of Pat Hingle, George Peppard and Arthur Storch, who became a fine stage director. Look for this one to see some interesting characters and a compelling story.
