Query: A sad rendition of an amazing book.

You can't expect the movie to be as good as the book. But one might expect a movie not to be a travesty of the book. Anthony Quinn is charming and lovable as always. But his performance could not save the film. The characters were portrayed as ridiculous simple-minded caricatures. If you've read the book, don't bother with the movie - it will only tarnish your experience of the story. If you liked the movie, do yourself a favor and read the book which is lavishly detailed and has much richer characters. There is so much more to the written story.
