Ultimately an average film from the early 70s with the feel of a TV movie, and a musical score seemingly stolen from The Waltons, but in Aldrich's hands it tries to rise above. Probably the most evil character Borgnine ever played, eclipsing Fatso "From Here to Eternity", and Coley Trimble in "Bad Day at Black Rock". He'd come a long way since playing Marty Piletti in 1955.
