Benefits from a particularly evocative and rich soundtrack full of bells, chimes, gongs and Indonesian music. Chris Greenham was the sound editor and there's a fine score by Bronislau Kaper, one of his last (many many credits since 1930).
Peter O'Toole is Joseph Conrad's wanderer, with Akim Tamiroff, Curt Jurgens, Eli Wallach, Daliah Lavi and James Mason.
Shot by Freddie Young in Super Panavision.
The budget shows, the kind of epic production you don't much find any more. Story is involving enough, though somewhat fatalistic.
