First-rate cast holds interest..., 27 November 2005
4/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

The last film from director Robert Rossen, who also adapted the screenplay from J.R. Salamanca's book, concerns the new intern at a mental hospital in Maryland who has an affair with one of his patients, a beautiful but deeply disturbed young woman. Handsomely-made, carefully mounted drama can't avoid pretensions, and parts of it are ponderous, dour and unmoving. The terrific cast (Warren Beatty, Jean Seberg, Gene Hackman and Peter Fonda among them) do some fine work, and Kenyon Hopkins supplies a blissful background score, but the film really doesn't have the courage to tackle the intricacies of its own subject matter, and the results seem half-baked. ** from ****
