User review:

Excellent movie about a dumb father…

After the lost of his beloved mother a child has to bear that his father didn’t die, too: “Everybody can’t be an orphan.” (Jules Renard) Better have wise enemies than stupid friends.

Among Comencini’s movies how much more enjoyable is Bette Davis’ sadism in ” The Scientific Cardplayer” than Anthony Quayle’s helplessness here.

Quayle’s renowned ability to (dis)play an everlasting blubbering face was most important to directors, like: J. Lee Thompson for “The Guns of Navarone” Cyril Frankel for “No Time for Tears”
