The film's cobra-like fascination lags once it gets ashore, but it's still a minor classic.

Delon's Ripley is a Dorian Gray portrait of male beauty and unscrupulous daring, untroubled by conscience.

The gorgeous blues of the water and the sky play in ironic stand-off to the seething rivalries on the boat.

...the result is as seductive as it is suspenseful: a bracing study of amorality.
