Reviews for The Arrangement
Kazan seems to have turned his search for identity into a callous soap opera, unworthy of a man of Kazan's true talent.
The movie finally pounds at our moral sense so much that our moral sense wearies and becomes defensive, and we are finally just grateful for Faye Dunaway's beauty, and the way she doesn't raise her voice.
What anchors the film in place are the performances of Douglas, Deborah Kerr as his wife and most especially a positively glowing Faye Dunaway.
