Title: One of the All Time Worst!
Product review: What a disappointment after reading so many GOOD reviews of this film....and even more so after LOVING the Maugham novel on which it is woefully adapted. Poor Bill Murray: he obviously (as a co-writer and star of the film) loved the book, too, but ended up in one of the biggest turkeys of all time. It is especially hard to try and get past his comic persona and any fan of the novel will be left scratching his head wondering how this particular version ever came to be. The supporting cast is weak, with the exception of Theresa Russell who does a great job with her limited role and a terrible wig. I haven't seen the Tyrone Power version yet, but something tells me I should just stick with the book.
