Marlon Brando (The Wild One), Richard Boone (Winter Kills), Rita Moreno (Carnal Knowledge), and Pamela Franklin (The Third Secret) head the all-star cast of The Night of the Following Day, a thrilling tale of kidnap, and cross and double-cross.

An ingenious criminal gang captures an heiress as she disembarks a plane in Paris. However, whilst holed up in a seaside resort, the criminals become increasingly suspicious of one another, and their fool-proof plan soon begins to unravel...

Based on a novel by Lionel White (The Killing, Pierrot le fou) and directed by Hubert Cornfield (Pressure Point), The Night of the Following Day is an eccentric and stylish crime drama, shot on location in France by cinematographer Willy Kurant (Masculin féminin) and featuring an evocative score by Stanley Myers (Otley, The Deer Hunter).

I gave this one a spin tonight. I thought it was generally okay, even if it did reek of "how do you do my fellow kids?" in regards of trying to be more on the "artsy" side, with Brando and Moreno being the real highlights. I will say, the ending
Spoiler
felt like it came out of nowhere; to have it a "dream ending", ala The Woman in the Window is certainly...a choice.
I'm curious if Cornfield's commentary delves onto why this decision was made.
