I like Trevor Howard but I realized as I was watching The Golden Salamander that I like him most when he plays parts where he doesn't move much like in The Third Man or Father Goose.
He looked goofy running down the sandy hill to the sea with Anouk. And I wasn't convinced of his pugilistic skills while engaging in fisticuffs with the Pink Panther guy.
I think Howard was best when standing still and delivering wry line readings.
My favorite character was Agno played by Wilfrid Hyde-White. He somehow managed to channel both Hoagy Carmichael and Boris Karloff into his character.
The pacing of the movie seemed just a tad sluggish but there were some cool looking shots through out the proceedings both on location in Tunisia and in the studio.
