Steve McQueen horribly miscast
17 November 2020
I tuned this in because I like McQueen movies. I really wanted to like this one. But I just couldn't. McQueen plays for laughs a conniving cheat who manipulates his friends into taking risks to help him. He's supposed to be the hero, but he steals with abandon and humiliates his friends. His behavior is that of a sociopath. I don't know why his friends didn't just push him overboard. I hoped his character would wind up in the brig for 30 years.

McQueen wasn't King of Cool in this movie, he was King of Jerks. I'm not surprised he didn't like his performance in it - the worst of his career.

Paula Prentiss was fun to watch, though.
