...John, the son he is supposed to love, love enough to risk kingdoms and wars, is portrayed as a slobbering cretin; their relationship, central in the film's setting of alliance and ambition, is implausible. Henry's mistress, his "true love," is played by high-bosomed but wooden Jane Merrow--another problem for O'Toole...
Larry Bryggman as Delano and Arthur Merrow as his bosun Perkins seldom seem comfortable with Lowell's highly stylized language, and make unfortunate attempts to naturalize it--leaving it stilted and often absurd. The blacks--played by about 15 members of Boston's New African Company -- are effective when overtly menacing, but otherwise confused and distracting, never successfully realizing the foreboding eerie simplicity of a Greek chorus...
...weather Lothario gets his comeuppance from a free-thinking London model (Jane Merrow) who smoothly beats him at his own game. She lets him drive her Buick Riviera and invites him to her father's luxurious summer home, where one of her donnish young Establishment pals sneeringly trounces him in a tennis match.

He argues that the voters ought to keep him in Washington because he is so young and he already has a few months' Senate seniority. Merrow, after 20 years...
...Doctor? Of the four candidates, the one that Murphy, Merrow, and even Doloris will have to beat is Perkins Bass. The Bass name is almost as big as Bridges' in New Hampshire Republican politics. Bass's grandfather helped manage Lincoln's second presidential campaign, was a pallbearer at Lincoln's funeral; his father was a New Hampshire Governor. In Bridges' terms, Perkins Bass is a liberal-he even supports a modified version of Kennedy's foreign trade program. "I feel very strongly," says he, "that Senator Murphy and Mrs. Bridges represent the point...
