The political resonance of Frank Sinatra's sleepwalking is unsubtly reactionary.

Sinatra turns in a nice, low-key performance.

The supporting cast is perhaps more impressive here, most notably a young Gena Rowlands as a trophy wife with a few secrets.

Shady personas abound, with supererogatory roles introduced nearly every 10 minutes, some of whom are so peculiar they appear humorous rather than severe.
