NOTES A film which attempts to charm us with its tale of loveable

bums. This might have been possible in the original story but

in the eighties stretches our belief. Nolte is an ex-baseball

player who becomes a marine biologist romantically linked

with Winger, a drifter who becomes a prostitute. One of the

many colourful characters populating the colourful sets is

mentally ill (I've been told).

From John Steinbeck's novel of same name.
