User Review - 10/10 by andre bThey don't call Mr. Gleason the "Great One" for nothing. A true sleeper movie with great character portrayals
User Review - 10/10 by Mary KI cried and cried, Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason, how could you go wrong?
User Review - 8/10 by Michael LTerrific interaction by two contrary greats! Very under rated film.
User Review - 8/10 by Allan CFine low key comedy/drama written and produced by Blake Edwards, from a William Goldman novel, greatly deserving of more recognition and a wider audience The film features the great Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen in an uncharacteristically goofy role. There's also a terrific Henry Mancini score to boot. The film has a unique and oddly melancholy tone, but it feels sincere and works for the film. A must see for McQueen and Gleason fans.
User Review - 8/10 by Charles MJackie Gleason demonstrates his genius for both comedy and drama in this little known film made in the late 50"s. His portrayal of Maxwell Slaugher is unforgettable and Steve McQueen's rare comic turn as Eustus Clay is funny, optimistic, sensetive, and hints at the huge star he will became. He rarely did a comedic role, and he is evidence of the cliche that "dying is easy; comedy is hard. Tuesday Weld is luminous, pathetic, and strangely tragic. I highly recommend this obscure film directed by Norman Jewison.
User Review - 8/10 by James HI like this movie. I've seen it multiple times. Funny at times and a very emotional ending.
User Review - 8/10 by Cha tThis movie has a lot of sentimental value to me and my family. lt's some good old fashioned light hearted comedy. lt's also one of the only movies l can think of where Steve McQueen doesn't play a serious role.
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel MA nice little duo (Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason) they are, and they never fail to entertain. The film is short and sweet, just the way I like it. The ending wasn't what I was expecting, and didn't love it..But, besides the ending, its flawless.
User Review - 6/10 by Brad WThese are "off-beat" roles for both Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason.
User Review - 6/10 by Mark HWhile this is not particularly artistic, or even a very strong movie in terms of production values; the bittersweet comic acting from Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen is worth the 90-minute journey. There are plenty of classic scenes, though a bit-dated by today's standards that will make you giggle shamelessly. To me, the Mancini score takes the movie up a notch too!
