Best remembered for containing an early appearance by a dubbed Peter O'Toole in a supporting role. With a different actor in the lead Nicolas Ray's film might possibly have passed muster as a serous attempt at depicting life among the Inuit. But the presence of Anthony Quinn - and of the Japanese actress Yoko Tani playing his partner - certainly gives it value as a curiosity.
A cross between 'Lost Holiday' and 'The Steel Trap' in which Charles Victor for the first and final time gets top billing in the title role as a lowly bank clerk who arrives at a hotel with a suitcase filled with his employers' money and lies low in a hotel, where he has a transformative effect on the other guests.
For his second film to showcase a little man attempting to set the world to rights Richard Attenborough turned his attention from Mahatma Gandhi to Charlie Chaplin.
As this film makes it abundantly clear despite his eminence in the field of silent cinema Chaplin himself was plainly in love with the sound of his voice. And we certainly hear a lot of in this film.
