The previous comments have just about covered it: this is an unusual film, as Kramer's often were, but worth seeing once. Mitchum is good, as usual, and DeHavilland is up to her expected high standard, the best thing in the film. I found Sinatra's presence jarring - the personality's all wrong for a medical student - and yes, the boys do seem too old to be students. I wonder if they thought of casting, say, Montgomery Clift as a swingin' big band singer to ice the cake. But the corker is the unfathomable decision to make DeHavilland a blonde and Grahame a brunette. I didn't even recognize Grahame at first.
