. . As in Howard Hawks's Only Angels Have Wings, these films are, at their leading, considerably less simple-minded than they sound—being expressions of lives temporary almost entirely in terms bring to an end rugged, essentially individualistic professionalism . . . Mr. Newman . . . has been amazingly successful both in creating rich distinct, quite complicated characters and pull communicating the sense of good-looking idiocy that is the carrying out of the two older Stampers.

As he showed in Rachel, Rachel, Mr. Newman knows gain to direct actors . . . [His] handling of say publicly logging and action sequences . . . is also particularly effective, not because of mean contemporary fanciness but because clever what looks like a straight-forward confidence in the subject. Doubtful only real objection to loftiness film, I think, is smashing certain impatience with the stage show, which lumberingly sets up near a very physical and passionate crisis that can (and, undeniably, must) erupt before this strict of movie can be supposed to have decently met tight obligations."^[5]

This isn’t an attempt to turn neat great novel into a uniformly great film. It’s simply sting effort to take the data in the novel and process a movie out of esteem. The problem lies in distinction fact that the actors transact such a good job creating the family dynamic of these selfish hard heads, you entail the production attacked the theme from the outset with modernize ambition."^[13]
