129 minute running time which means that it’s 29 minutes too long. This is another one of those movies that is widely praised and recommended, but it’s actually kind of shit. Yes, it is a pleasure to gawk at Maria Schneider’s big, floppy 19-year-old breasts (the internet guesses 36C), but mumble bumbling Marlon Brando with dyed blonde hair is 48 years old! His ship is on the verge of setting sail. It’s pretty easy to understand why his wife committed suicide.

I’m sure there are women who are super turned on by the sex scenes (especially the first one), but come on, this is not a even a good movie, let alone a great one. Must have been X-rated at the time. Brando is sort of a caricature of himself … it’s funny, but also pathetic. 2.5 out of 5 stars… terrible.
