The flashback material is so bad that you get the feeling the projectionist may have carelessly scrambled the reels of a double feature. Some of the training sequences will interest tennis hackers curious to know what it would be like to take lessons from Gonzalez. It must also be said that Dean-Paul Martin, Dino's son, has the contemporary jock style- cool, mean, and yet innocent- down well; he has played some professional tennis and learned something from the experience...

What is even more curious, they ask for imported water. American water isn't good enough for them...
