The direction of this is just superb. I'm not a student of cinema but even I can pick up on the quality of some of the shots. None of them are arty for the sake of it (ironically given the plot). Lancaster is excellent with his physical commitment to the role and Schofield is captivating from his first scene and throughout. Plus the question of 'what price art/culture' hangs throughout the film and it handles the 'love interest' with a maturity that is long since lost from the mainstream. I really have to seek out more Frankenheimer and Schofield films.
8/10

You obviously overlooked the fact that Lancaster's character is French but doesn't have an accent? It's a bit like Connery playing a Russian submarine captain that speaks with a Scottish accent.

I did say physical commitment, rather than verbal commitment! The dubbing of some actors is also a downside. But the director even made me suspend disbelief enough to overlook Lancaster's accent.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound so snarky. It just seems so unnecessary/lazy to set a movie in a certain time & place, then use actors that can't at least 'fake' or attempt to make us believe they are from that time & place.
