Reviews
“The picture has a number of elements of distinction and reward. The four leading performances are excellent. Newman creates a virile, pernicious figure as that ornery title critter. The characteristics of old age are marvelously captured and employed by Douglas. Another fine performance is by Brandon de Wilde as Newman’s nephew. Patricia Neal comes through with a rich and powerful performance as the housekeeper assaulted by Newman.”
