Playboy (Bekim Fehmiu) tries to overthrow South American dictator (Alan Badel), finds love (Candice Bergen) but loses her when she turns lesbian. An astonishingly squalid movie, wretchedly acted and directed from a stupid script.
| The Adventurers (1970) Playboy (Bekim Fehmiu) tries to overthrow South American dictator (Alan Badel), finds love (Candice Bergen) but loses her when she turns lesbian. An astonishingly squalid movie, wretchedly acted and directed from a stupid script. |
| A three-hour slog through every imaginable cliché of writing and direction. In addition to an abundance of flaccid sex and violence, it offers drugs, sadism, orchids, fireworks, orgies, lesbianism, a miscarriage, a private torture chamber, and the hell of several fashion shows with loud pop music accompaniment. This might well be described as the film with everything; trouble is, it is difficult to imagine anybody wanting any of it. |
| (Monthly Film Bulletin) |
| Surely no sane adult could take part in such an absurd enterprise and declaim such outrageously improbably dialogue without curling up in helpless mirth? |
| (Ian Christie, Daily Express) |
| Has the awful fascination of the utterly vulgar... Good actors like Borgnine and de Havilland approach the whole thing as if they would prefer to handle it with tongs. |
