...William Hanley's screenplay is full of ominous undertones and pauses that are often more leaden than loaded. Although Frankenheimer's direction is always precise and often-as in the skydiving sequences-masterly, much of the dialogue lacks the painful intensity that was obviously intended. The interrelationships of the characters make sense but have little emotional resonance, a handicap that only Gene Hackman manages to surmount. His brassy characterization of a free-living sky diver adds a poignant dimension of reality to a film that, like sky diving itself, is an exciting but slightly dubious exercise...

And Adapter Capote, who is now writing an original play for his friend Lee, apparently needs a change in muse as well as Duse; the melodramatic script was scarcely the sort of thing he does best. Hanley's Flesh and Blood is the saga of a construction worker's family with all the woes of Eugene O'Neill's Hartford clan but none of the dramatic impact. Even such a formidable cast could not sustain the numbing two-hour trickle of unspeakable secrets...
