...trouble began one morning fortnight ago with Major General Jacques Massu, the wiry paratrooper who was front man for the May 13, 1958 Algiers military insurrection and now commands French forces in Algiers.

As his mistress and nemesis, Robin Howard is asked to cope with a part that calls for the sort of compelling distinction that Siobhan McKenna and Colleen Dewhurst and very few others can command. On this level Miss Howard simply hasn't got it, but she is a competent actress with a splendid pair of shoulders. Lee Henry is similarly undefinitive but competent as Ultimate Evil. Arthur Malet cannot quite fit his occasional moments of menace into the prevailing pixyishness of his interpretation...
