Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOddly, the film leaves out the detail which explains the title - the all-important list of names which George Peppard gets hold of is, in the novel, in code, which is broken via a knowledge of Tarot cards. In the film, it's just a list of names, so the brief moment where the Patience Collier character is seen laying out Tarot cards has no resonance for the later scenes.

Featured review
A classic from the time when talent had to act!
From the first bit of footage you will know you are settling in to see a winner. Pierre Barouh's title song is enchanting and beguiling and the singer's voice sounds like an angel. George's acting in HOC rivals his performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Blue Max. It's hard to believe his agent steered him to The A Team when he had proven he had real talent. Inger Stevens, who looks as fetching as you'll ever see her, was also at the top of her game in this movie.
The direction felt like Hitch was behind the camera, it's that good. One of my very favorite actors, Orson Welles, also works his magic. If you like Orson, you will certainly enjoy another of his potentially lesser know performances in Long Hot Summer.
What I will never understand is the production company, Universal Pictures, never released this on tape, laserdisc or DVD (if you have some influence with Universal, call in a favor to fix this). Talk about your missed opportunities! A loss for movie lovers the world over. Your only chance to see this is to obtain the CD-V version.
