The very slow pacing makes me sleep away. The story is told in a way that may have been very ok and intense at that time, but I saw it the first time today. Over-the-top machismo and unrealistic behavior by mostly all of the characters. Especially the character of Pandora Reynolds, played by Ava Gardner is unbearable. The worst are the depressive laments of the dutchman, such a looser. The movie lasts for two hours, but they felt like four hours. If someone likes slow-paced nostalgica with depressively long winded language, this might be his/her movie.
