Title: So much talent, but...
Review: I've been a real admirer of Dassin's work-- and Melina Mercouri is a force of nature, irresistable. But this movie fails at every level-- as narrative it makes no sense. And Mercouri crosses that fine line into being a Grotesque, a camp parody of herself. Many of Mercouri's lines are indistinguishable, even played over a high-end system. It's as tho' half the script was never shot and the film they had on hand was quickly thrown together into a "movie". So much talent involved here. A huge disappointment.When oh when will they release the DVD of "Phaedra"--the crowning achievement in the Dassin/Mercouri output ? RR in Tucson
