Title: A WASHOUT TOO CLOSE
Review: Take a terrific cast, add great cinematography, add realistic battle scenes and what do we have?-A chorus of boos and jeers. Connery seems to be the only personna that the viewer can latch onto, and none too well at that. Redford does a decent sequence, then disappears. Olivier seems totally miscast,and his lumberings down a dirt road under a full sun as a finale typifies the entire movie.It lumbers for 3 solid hours with the Allies and Germans giving "matchstick man" perfomances (to borrow a line from the Rock group "Status Quo").Annoying scene changes disrupt any flow that the film might have. Also, am I the only movie-goer who found the dialogue too faint and the music too loud? Anyway, the "good guys" won while the Germans and the audience finally lost.
