This is paltry stuff; it has an eerie, dated quality, like a copy of Playboy left out in the sun for fifteen years. The women are subhuman, and most of the actors look stranded—lost and undirected. You can almost see their eyes searching for help. What Mailer provides is an intellectual’s idea of a pulp thriller. You stare at it knowing it’s hopeless yet not really wanting to leave.
