It was a relief to get out of the drive-in; the place when I saw this film when I was 5. I was so bored, I could not wait to get home and watch a monster movie. I slept through a good half hour of the film, and did not miss a thing. Peck tries his best to make the character likable, but he isnt. Hayward is ravishing, but there does not seem to be a lot of chemistry between her and Peck. The best acting in the film is done by Raymond Massey, who as Nathan, the Prophet, easily outperforms both leading actor and actress.
The worst performance comes from Goliath; who is dreadful. The music and production values are first-rate, but they cannot possibly save this dreary, overdone romance.
