Kirk Douglas is crazy good! Kim Novak is crazy beautiful! Her sex appeal had such a vulnerability; it was off the charts!! She acts with this emotional insecurity),(with a disarming innocence), and yet, down deep, she has a zest for truly enjoying life! This movie makes you wish they had capitulated to their deep love for each other onscreen ,and taken their love affair to a happy ending in real life offscreen. Kirk Douglas brought such an intensity and passion to every role he played. He's such a joy to watch! kim
