An American hustler in early 1970s Singapore, dreams of building a fortune by running a brothel and returning to the States to lead a life of luxury.
From memory: Good character study, not without humor and irony, with some great lead performances and excellent location cinematography.
Halliwell (no star): "Whimsical, loquacious black comedy which failed to set its wavering director back on the firm ground he needed."
Maltin***: "Absorbing character study...Fine performances from Gazzara and Elliott, excellent use of location milieu."
