A good adaptation of the Hemmingway story, and an interesting update to the
1946 version I'd posted some months back. Marvin is outstanding, and both Angie Dickinson and Ronald Reagan turn in strong performances. 7.5/10

Reagan generally played good guys, decent guys. This no doubt helped him in his later political career. This movie, though, he played a bad guy. Still get the chills when I watch it.

Lee Marvin. Can you even think of a male star today that could stand up to him? I can’t. And Angie in her prime...sigh. Thanks for the pings, Dem!

1964. I was young enough to not know suppressors on revolvers didn’t work. Except one revolver anyway. A foreign made where the cylinder moves forward and seals the barrel to cylinder gap. Don’t remember the make.

I much prefer the original 1946 version, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner and Albert Dekker.
Check it out, excellent stuff.
