9/10
A LOST GEM
20 April 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Perhaps one of the most lyrical adventure movies ever made. How can it be impossible to find it in DVD or even on video? It is a film to visit and revisit. Alain Delon in one of his most human performances, Lino Ventura at his very best and Joanna Shikmus (Mrs. Sidney Poitier) is unforgettable. Her burial at sea scene has stayed with me, always. This film is ripe for a revival. I'm sure that a modern international audience would embrace it and put it where it rightly belongs, as one of the best films of its kind.
