Summary: Fabulous!
Review: I couldn't disagree more with the editorial review published here.I thought this was a fascinating film in a lot of ways. A bit rough in the structure, at times, but overall a very good effort. Some wonderful performances, interesting plot, beautiful scenery.

Summary: The premise of the movie is more interesting than the movie.
Review: I remember hearing how steamy and heavy this movie was when it came out, way back when. I also recall seeing an infamous photo spread that piqued my interest. Having just viewed it, I would have to say that it's disappointing, due mostly to two things: a) it's dated, and b) it tends to be melodramatic instead of dramatic. Unfortunately, the premise of the movie is more interesting than the movie itself. The right elements are there -- lonely, young widow; studly sailor; confused, hormonally driven son; psychotic friend and a surprise ending -- but it seems more like The Exorcist at times than a drama. I think the director was going for a Bergmanesque kind of quiet and seriousness, but the movie doesn't get there. Part of the problem is that the son in the movie isn't up to the task as an actor. The movie is based on a short story, which, I have a feeling, conveys itself better than the movie does. Incidentally, there is one bit in one of the erotic scenes that has been edited out-- also a disappointment since you don't know that when ordering.

Summary: Great at the Time; Doesn't hold up; maybe I've aged
Review: I was 22 when this first came out and thought it was a very emotional and sensuous movie. The ending produced a tremendous feeling of sadness which stayed with me for years. I recently saw it again. Disappointingly it has one of the most erotic scenes edited. The trick of showing time passing by having a picture boat glide across a picture ocean really seems corny. For a better Sarah Miles movie which holds up for its eroticism and story quality, I'd recommend "Ryan's Daughter".

Review: I was 22 when this first came out and was a clerk in a drugstore. I remember sneaking peeks at a layout Playboy had done of Kris and Sarah. Then I got to see the movie. The ending produced a tremendous feeling of sadness which stayed with me for years. I recently saw it again. Disappointingly it has one of the most erotic scenes edited. The trick of showing time passing by having a picture boat glide across a picture ocean really seems corny.

Summary: Beware! This Is a Ripoff!
Review: I was in San Diego several years back and happened into a downtown video store. I was pleased to find a VHS copy of "Sailor" and couldn't wait to get home so I could watch Kris and Sarah make hot sexy love all over the place. But what I got instead was a G-rated movie suitable for the kids, Grandma, Fido, etc. All the Good Parts of this movie have been deleted...without any sort of "altered version" designation on the package! Honestly, I wasn't aware that movies were sanitized for home-video release; I thought it was the other way around (i.e. really racy, scandalous stuff unsuitable for theatrical viewing was included on the video). So, what is the name of the genius who deleted this footage, and when will a *complete* version be available?

Summary: Last time I saw at theater - it was too hot for it's time!!!
Review: Ok - so I was in my late puberty years and Sarah Miles was the hottest thing on my mind - (BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE) - I cannot forget this flick! You better be in check with your Fraudian side to handle this oddity. Overall - a stinker! BUT - it tested it's era of censorship. It was closed down quitely because it was too hot for it's time! The media posted alleged reports of Kris Kristofferson's marital breakup as a partial result of the filming of this with Sarah Miles - later. There was a photo spread in at least one magazine - later. I am going to buy this one just to see if it gets me as moved as it did in the mid 70's! There must be some reason this flick has stayed in my mind all these many years, besides sexy Sarah.

Summary: Has some merits but the book is certainly better
Review: The movie stars Kris Kristofferson and Sara Miles in what is apretty graphically kinky movie considering it is about 30 years oldnow. There are further scenes where Miles and Kristofferson are making love while the boy watches, until he is discovered by the mother, who basically flips out. Then there is the bizarre vivisection scene with the anesthetized cat, and the final one with the sailor himself. Since I've never read the book, I'm not sure how these play out in print, but I'm assuming the movie did not fail to capitalize on the more sensationalistic aspects of the book, so if you liked the book, you might also want to check out the movie.

Summary: too much pretentious
Review: This film is a failure, I think because surely it's based over a complex novel. Cinema is good for action and image, but surely has his limits. I don't know the original book of Mishima, but all these is evident. The movie show us, not one, but two stories and truly there's no much cohesion between the two: the children's gang and his chief -a little Hitler-, and the history of the widow and the sailor. These two tales doesn't attain to make a full unity, but remains as two different histories without no much relation though full of pretentions and false steticism. Probably at his time -1976- this movie was very daring owing the nudes of Sarah Miles, but this is another tale.
