Great Frankenheimer. Melodrama with a mood, a strange topic (¡parachutes for fun!), a big irony: the spectacular foreigners doesn't change the smalltowners lives, it is the other way. The middle of the film, the tense sexy night, !is so well narrated and edited!. Ant the better symbolic ejaculation in movies: the long, huge spermic withe parachute splashed by Lancaster in front of the thirsty hot ladies.
