Interesting Is it scfi?:
Charlton Heston's early days. Drama for the most part BUT having this magnificant ScFi type ending. The whole film hangs on the ending.
It shows how special effects can tell the story not be it.
On the whole an "interesting film".
Wonderful Classic:
This movie is in the best tradition of the romantic adventure. Heston and Parker sparkle together, and are a perfect team. Their very clashes have a wonderful chemistry, and with both stars in their prime, you couldn't ask for a more pleasing image to watch. The plot itself is classic, with enough twists to keep it interesting. I've loved this movie since I was a little girl- I've probably watched it 20 times, and plan to keep watching it every so often!
