In a corrupt city, a small-time gangster and the
estranged wife of a pot dealer find themselves thrown together in an
escapade of love, money, drugs and danger.
From memory: grand portrait of a city's changing thought is poetic, subtle and muli-faceted; Burt Lancaster is excellent as the aged gangster.
Halliwell***: "Elegiac character drama which often achieves the mood it seeks but on the whole remainstoo understated for its own good."
Maltin****: "Rich character study of a city in transition...European in its ambience and storytelling approach, though its setting is an American resort. Lancaster gives one of his finest performances..."
