This is a relatively lousy film that makes very little sense, but is worth watching anyway for the weird performances of some classic Hollywood 30's, 40's and 50's actors at the ends of their long careers - including John Huston, Sterling Hayden, Ralph Meeker, Richard Boone, Eli Wallach and - honest - Toshiro Mifune. For the most part, they seem to understand that they are participating in a major turkey, but they gamely act their way through a nonsensical script, spouting lines that seem to have been written by a blacklisted writer on a four-week bender. Cinematography and editing are on par with the script.
