A familiar Harold Robbins tale, adapted by John Michael Hayes. George Peppard is a ruthless business tycoon surrounded by snakes, who reforms too near the film's end. Carroll Baker is his nice wife. It was Alan Ladd's last film - he died the same year (alcoholic) - he doesn't look in bad shape in climactic punch-out with Peppard.
With 'Bob' Cummings, Martha Hyer, Elizabeth Ashley, Lew Ayres, Martin Balsam, Ralph Taeger, Archie Moore, Leif Erickson.
Good score of Elmer Bernstein. Photographed in Panavision by the dependable widescreen colour cameraman Joe MacDonald. Produced by Joseph Levine, for Paramount.
