Great color, effects, but dumb

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2002)

Perhaps Hitch got carried away with the effects he was using. This picture, the restored edition, has some quite wonderful shots and great color and some special effects that showed up again in the psychedelic 60s. Good fun. But the plot is trite and Kim Novak goes over the top more than once. It felt 'dumb.' Was it the times, or have movies advanced?
