Terrific Albert Finney makes you want to have a drink. I was drinking while watching this one. A sort of a Graham Greeneque setting with a drunk British ambassador living it up in Mexico, lamenting his long gone wife, getting drunk in the mornings even as the second world war is about to break out. Maybe the film needed a better leading lady than Jacqueline Bisset. Not Huston's best. But awesome that Huston was energetic enough to get novels like Fat City, Under the Volcano and Wise Blood made into film.
