Got me a keeper copy and made more "discoveries" during the first three viewings than in most films. Kidman never looked better. Bacall was superb. Danny Huston had just the right look for a guy who's not accustomed to competition or losing. And, Arliss is one of my B-movie faves. Heche is always good but dowdied up a bit for her role--didn't understand that.The dark lighting and outstanding soundtrack made this a very moody experience. Also, I thought that Kidman's act of contrition was waaay over the top. I'm sure most women will think so.
Too bad the critics killed this one. It has a lot of merit.
