a poor man's "Tom Jones," to which it is inferior in pretty much everything, except cinematography.
Ryan O'Neal was, perhaps, the greatest single casting mistake of Kubrick's career.
Still, one cannot escape the fact that the movie lacks pace and is boring as hell. When a book lags, one can turn the pages faster. Unfortunately, a viewer is at the director's mercy.

If anything it would be the rich man film but in fact they do not compare..yours is erratic at best, mine is pure genius...save the to realistic intellectual ( but unavoidable ) end.
Ryan was just a puppet and as such..did not played any kind of...role.( if you see what I mean )
For me it is a feast.

C'mon, to use it is to destroy the director's vision...his rhythm, pace, style. Either it stands originally as made or not.

It was just an analogy...I suppose when you read a book and scroll down the pafes as you say you destroy the writer´s vision too...
