Many years ago I happened to catch a part of this on TV. It seemed intriguing so I began to watch but then fell asleep vowing to catch up with it again some day. A sparkling Blu-ray print from Indicator was that opportunity. It begins well with some fantastic shots and then a strange sequence in the medical room on board ship and the subsequent talk of a presidential assassination some years before with the involvement of more and more. Somewhere along the line it is apparent, though complicated and serious there is also a level of humour. Having to follow the increasingly silly plot and failing to be able to find the humour humours, I feel my eyelids becoming heavy. I made it through and I would not say the film was terrible even if I would not care to give it another go. Jeff Bridges is fine but has to carry most of the film, at least that part that John Huston is not overacting his way through. Various stars come and go but I only really noticed a decent rant from Anthony Perkins and a most effective but silent moment from Elizabeth Taylor.
