I saw this film quite a few years ago in a film appreciation class I
took. I am a Kubrick fan so I was interested in seeing it. The
acting is pretty bad in this film, but Kubrick was pretty much
producing this independently (in the mid-50's when that was not
done too often) and probably could not get very good actors. The
filmmaking was great. There were great tracking shots, wonderful
use of mise on scen, great long shots and close ups. In fact a lot
of sequences were similar to sequences in many of Kubrick's
famous films. Kubrick fans should see this movie at least once.
