...could have stepped from the plays of Beckett, while Crawford, as the silly subaltern, alternates hilariously between villainy and vanity. Despite its pictorial audacity and quirky humor, the picture is less impressive as a film against war than as a war against film-the kind of red-blooded Hollywood spectacular that glorifies battle. Nonetheless, Lester's irrepressible stylistic exuberance adds considerable evidence that the four corners of the screen are no more confining than the ancient four corners of the world...
...trouble with the mustache is that it usually belongs to James Garner. He looks like a hat model with swollen glands. At least Jason Robards--his tubercular, alcoholic partner--is lean, but I suspect that's because he's been so busy prostituting himself in Hollywood extravaganzas.

The Incident thus plausibly proposes the desiccating, depersonalizing pressure of urban life itself as the probable villain. And Director Larry Peerce moves far beyond his 1964 One Potato, Two Potato in welding his cast of adept Hollywood second-string players (among them, Thelma Ritter, Jack Gilford, Jan Sterling and Ruby Dee) into a concerted exposition of this plausibility...
