Director Daniel Petrie sponges up London's local color, but The Idol tantalizes chiefly by concentrating on Parks, whose passing resemblance to Laurence Harvey offers no insurmountable obstacle. Intense, slow-burning and confidently virile, he has a star actor's natural instinct for arousing curiosity about what he will do next.

At the start of the early Stone Age (500,000 B.C.), war and the hunt became his exclusive occupations, and for about 40,000 years thereafter the warrior virtues of aggression and cunning were intensively bred into his bones...
