Quite strange, though less so than the book. A dissolute Englishman who has just resigned his diplomatic position drinks endlessly, and dies. The story is fine enough, the acting quite good: Albert Finney shines as the drunkard, Jacqueline Bisset is fine enough as a pretty woman, and Anthony Andrews is quite English as Hugh Firmin.The story is simple enough; the acting and the Mexican settings are what make it work.
