“Here is a film touching on the major issue of our time, which apparently asks to be taken seriously. Yet instead of presenting a point of view and a defined attitude towards their theme, the authors have tricked it out with all manner of exploitable devices and cheap Shaftesbury Avenue giggles. As in On the Beach , good intentions are not enough.”
(MFB)
“The plot gets lost in sub-plots, and vice versa. Then again, the plots are such that they should get lost.”
(Don Willis, 1972)
