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.
