Is a very good film when it doesn´t not try try to be " new time Hollywoodian ", it is a calm, quiet, beautifully photographed picture. From the man who created another film that is quite strange but somehow fascinating " Pic-Nic at hanging Rock " and of course the cult " Witness " who even did fit in the so wooden & over acting Mr. Ford. If you can see & read between the lines, and forget the intempestive canon shots, it is a most agreable film, following the theme of John Huston, but with a good actor not in the way of the miscast Mr. Peck, called Mr. Crowe.
Good shot.
