Even though I'm a big fan of Paul Newman, I haven't actually seen many movies starring this fine actor and that's a real shame.  I don't know, maybe it's because I'm too much focused on recent movies. Anyway, I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but since Paul Newman was playing the lead, I was really eager to watch this flick. And of course, the guy was pretty awesome here. To be honest, I have to admit that I saw this movie on the BBC without subtitles and I kept missing some bits here and there so I was quite confused by the story but it was still a really enjoyable detective story. Of course,  this kind of movies is more about the mood and the characters involved and those elements were fine here resulting in a very fine watch. Eventually,  almost 10 years later, Paul Newman would come back for a sequel called 'The Drowning Pool' but I thought it was slightly more underwhelming than this feature.  Anyway,  to conclude, even though it was nothing really exceptional, it was still a really entertaining feature and it is definitely worth look especially if you're interested in Paul Newman's work.
