ThiefHott Too much of everything

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

CitizenCaine A backdrop in Greece significantly helps this unsuccessful soaper depicting an affair between Murray Logan played by Peter Finch and Christine Bonner played by Jane Fonda. Fonda is married to Arthur Hill, dutiful but overprotective Sam Bonner who gets assistance from his good friend Murray Logan in finding Fonda. Finch is married to a physically scarred Sybil Logan played by Angela Lansbury who clearly is no longer in love with her husband. Hence, the floodgates open and Finch and Fonda are off to vacation in Greece with Fonda's mother Constance Cummings pestering to find out what's going on.Despite Fonda's enthusiasm in the role, there is absolutely zero chemistry between her and Finch, and Fonda's ridiculous hairdo is distracting at times. The colorful location footage does help, which includes the Acropolis in Athens. Director Robert Stevens is more known as a television director and it shows in the pedestrian execution of the script written by Meade Roberts, which may have been an attempt to portray a Greek tragedy in its natural setting. The story was based on Susan Ertz' novel. John Houseman produced. The supporting cast is pretty much wasted, including Constance Cummings as Fonda's mother. Nat King Cole sings the title tune. ** of 4 stars.

Jtsobe After reading the reviews on this movie I HAD to chime in on it, because I saw this movie for the first time just a few days ago. Coming from someone is is NOT a Jane Fonda fan, I completely disagree with most reviewers thus far! I found the movie to be VERY watchable, and the storyline to be very romantic and somewhat bittersweet. But most of all, when I first turned the TV on I thought I was watching a much more recent movie by the style of this beautiful young girl. I was amazed to see that it was a 1963 movie, and even more amazed to see that it was Jane Fonda. As I mentioned, I have NEVER been a fan of Jane Fonda, but I never saw her so damned cute as in this movie. The other reviewer must be used to (and prefer) that super puffed-out hair JF that some of us have grown to dislike over the years (the look I cannot stand!). This gorgeous young lady with the "Bob" hairdo AND her clothing were very good-looking (to say the least) and took me by complete surprise. Also, her acting in this was not the typical Jane Fonda, but rather a non-pretentious, more innocent, Audrey Hepburn style of acting. I wish she had remained like this.Also, the "woman" (I wish I could use another word) that Peter Finch was married to was NOT like that as result of the car accident. The car accident (and loss of the child) was a result of HER. It was brought up in a dialog between Peter Finch and an older woman who knew him before he was married, that Sybil was like that from the start. But Peter was sucked into a relationship with her, and she became pregnant as a result. Peter stayed with her, under the HOPE that she would change. But it just became worse, and culminated in the death of their son (because of her badgering him while driving!). Angela Lansbury played the roll so well you can really feel Peter's pain through the TV.And yes. The Greek scenery was beautiful. Makes me want to take a vacation there. I enjoyed this movie a great deal.

whpratt1 If you like Jane Fonda, you will enjoy her acting in this picture and also how very young looking she looked in all her fancy looking clothes. There is also fantastic photography through out Greece and the ancient ruins, also a nice Greek dance with Peter Finch and Jane Fonda. Murray Logan, (Peter Finch) is a successful author married to Sybil Logan, (Angela Lansbury) and they are a very unhappy couple because of a tragic event in their early marriage. Sam Bonner, (Arthur Hill) is a very good friend of Murray and one day he meets his wife, Christine Bonner, (Jane Fonda). As soon as this couple look at each other, you can see in their eyes an outstanding attraction and this is what makes this film a triangle of love and romance and plenty of fights.

cjp49 I thought the movie was unique if not wonderful, being only ever so slightly cliché in its ending. I could not, however, tell if the style in which the film was shot was meant to be unusual and fresh or if this achieved addition to the film was simply an accident brought on by clumsiness. As for questions concerning the title, I would recommend the book of Genesis (to be found in the Bible for all of those who don't know) where Adam walked with God in The Cool of the Day. I don't have a Bible handy at the moment so I will not quote you can read this for yourself. Fonda reminds me of a young Katharine Hepburn in this film. She seems unsure of herself, probably because this was one of her first major roles, and like the Great Kate, in her very early films, she uses a higher voice than is generally attributed to her in this early film. It is not until a few years later in each career that we hear those majestic deeper voices that command so much respect from audiences.
