Robert Redford should have got a better acting partner than Fonda in this picture, for her portrayal of the wife is so awful, so hysterical and non-believable that I cannot even begin to describe it. Other than that, the film is quite bearable, if this piece from the 60's is not judged by today's standards.

Absolutely enjoyed Redford's performance, though, as you can clearly see its strong roots coming from theatre. He is extremely young here but a very impressive performer already, making almost all aspects of the husband's character believable. This and his other early roles (for example, 1962 episode "Nothing in the Dark" in the series "The Twilight Zone") give an interesting insight into his technique and how it evolved over the years.

Some excellent acting and several funny scenes but apart from that not much, I am afraid. A very weak plot, I dare say.

Two words - beyond criticism. The journalist was potrayed a weak, confused person or rather as a meaningless individual whose role was to only put down Felt's words on paper, no analysis, nothing. A two dimentional character. Didn't work for me, sorry Julian Morris and the crew.

Liam Neeson was believable as Felt, a strong portrayal. 8 points for that. Overall - 6.
