One area of film-making I've never really appreciated is the final edit. The editor is really the unsung hero of the movie - unsung because the work he / she does is so subtle, so thoughtful and well crafted that one doesn't notice it. HOWEVER, when its bad, its jarring. The editing of this movie makes it into a big mess. I read that Doris Day's evil, money stealing husband, Marty Melcher, signed her up without letting her say no! She does her best, though, to play her part as good as possible. But one performer, a good film does not make. And to make matters worse, Richard Harris is TERRIBLE. He seems bored and pompous throughout. Altogether a truly awful movie. Skip it if you're smart!!!
