“At the time, Jack Nicholson seemed wrong for the role of a UK TV journalist. He seemed to be a stand-in or an understudy, a need to appeal to the American market by using an American actor. And casting Maria Schneider as the love interest seemed nothing more than a crass production ploy to mate “Last Tango In Paris” with “Easy Rider”… and behind that, a tap of a standard Godard pairing such as Belmondo and Anna Karina. Big on fantasy, low on detail, these characters were as slight and existential as stolen shadows.”
