If Saint Jack is not another complete embarrassment for Bogdanovich, it nonetheless reveals his deficiencies as a film maker.

The story is told in too meandering a style and the many well-acted characterizations never mesh together.

Well crafted, finely acted, and conjures up a positively intriguing milieu.

Saint Jack offers a subtle study of cultural tensions and misunderstandings.

Certainly one of The Last Picture Show's director's better efforts, he is still searching for the project with which he may hit the jackpot again.
