Berlinguer's power-sharing policy also led to disenchantment among younger voters, who gave their support to far-left radicals. In Palermo, an analysis of the June 3 vote showed that the Communists' heaviest losses came in districts with large numbers of young voters. By linking up with the Christian Democrats, concluded Massimo D'Alema, head of the party's youth federation, "we lost credibility for the P.C.I, as the party of freedom. We managed to look at the same time both impotent and Jacobin...
...Especially in the first half, several scenes take too long to get to the point, which often turns out to be not very sharp. There are also gag sequences that could easily have been richer and more firmly developed.

The young man is enamored of Ali MacGraw, who is as pretty an older woman as she was a younger woman and, regrettably, is the same hopeless actress she has always been. It would require talent of a high order to make her role believable, however. She is supposed to be an international tycoon's kept woman. Unfortunately he keeps her very far away- in Mexico, while he is on a yacht off Monte Carlo. When he calls, she jumps, and all this abrupt, unexplained commuting takes its toll on Martin. A decent director...
