I admit, Cyd Charisse was the main reason why I wanted to see this movie. Being the year 1965, when the film was made, she is no longer the super-sexy young woman she was 10-15 years before, when she showed off her glamorous legs in films like "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), "The Band Wagon" (1953), "It's Always Fair Weather" (1955), "Viva Las Vegas!" (1956), "Silk Stockings" (1957), "Party Girl" (1958), "Black Tights" (1960). Here she is still beautiful, but looks, at only 43 years old, more like an old woman. The film is what I would call a romantic thriller, neither very much, nor too much. In two secondary roles, two more beauties appear, the Italian Eleonora Rossi Drago and the French Juliette Mayniel. Watch it if you love them!
