Big budget bloated bore.
Boring, talkative movie, too long, over-acted movie with dull camera work about a wounded, but dull Hemingway-like writer yakking away in an African plain, remembering his dead first wife, while fighting off death.Half way through you are yelling, "Die Already." When the Hyena shows up, you are hoping that the beast eats the bore.
Nobody shines in this movie.
Peck is awful.
Gardner's character is a cliché.
Hayward isn't even interesting.
King's direction is stuck in the mud.
Big budget bloated bore.
score 1/10
