    A great film, both Maryln Monroe and Robert Mitchum were in great form. I forgot Maryln had such a sweet voice, which was greatly enjoyed.

    Beautiful class. A contemplative direction, with beautiful songs and a singular sensuality of Monroe. Let forget the realism of contemporary cinema and lets himself be carried away by beautiful landscapes and a stylized violence that seeks much more the mastery of composition than the testament of realism.
