A lot of these reviews mention what is right about it and they are correct. Don Johnson and Jason Robards, though different from Paul Newman and Burl Ives, are very good in it.
My 'mediocre' rating all stems from the casting of Judith Ivey and the total lack of 'chemistry' between her character and Johnson's. It's a story that's not supposed to be only about weather heat but sexual heat yet Ivey doesn't come off as repressed. She seems more like a PTA President.
