...a familiar character trajectory that’s employed to watchable yet disappointingly forgettable effect by Wise...

There is nothing in Wise’s career to indicate the cinematic genius commonly associated with Stevens or Ford, but there is much to suggest that he is a director capable of making good films if he receives the opportunity to do so.

Paul Newman and Pier Angeli are well cast as the embattled sweethearts. The title, though, is misleading...

The film's money shot is the well-staged fight between Zale and Rocky.
