Featured review
The magic does not rub off
William Campbell if remembered today will go down in history for two things,
being the former husband of JFK mistress Judith Campbell Exner and a pair of episodes from Star Trek prime. He also appeared in some good films of the
50s like Backlash, The High And The Mighty and Man Without A Star. z
But certainly not for this film shot in Yugoslavia in the early 60s. In this one Campbell plays a failed painter, descendant from a good one who has it in his head that a classic painting done by his ancestor said to be enchanted will bring him good fortune and luck in the art world. With some regular art thieves going after same it isn't magic he gets, but a lot of grief.
Since it's not even in color you can't truly appreciate the nice Adriatic scenery captured on film. The film moves as the snail does.
Poor William Campbell, at least he's part of the Star Trek mythology.
