I have. the film has a decently gritty quality, but George
Montgomery is too youthful and boyish for the part, and the
mustache just makes him look like a kid trying to appear
older.
In another ten or fifteen years, he might (on the evidence of
performances in other films) have been pretty good in the
role. You could say he was the anti-Mitchum (Mitchum having
come to the role about ten or fifteen years too late).
