About this product
Product Information
Set in anarchic South America, THE ADVENTURERS is a thunderously charged 1970s political action-thriller. Bekim Fehmiu stars as Dax Xenos, a troubled playboy whose politico father was killed during a revolution. Searching for enlightenment, Xenos travels from woman to woman in an attempt to cope with his tumultuous childhood. After having an affair with the older and refined widow Deborah Hadley (Olivia de Havilland), he switches gears and falls for the young and sultry Sue Ann Daley (Candice Bergen). The two have a child, but when tragedy strikes and their son is killed, Xenos breaks down and leaves her, opting to seek revenge on his father's murderer, Rojo (Alan Badel). Produced as an end note to the 1960s, THE ADVENTURERS showcases some of the more risqué social trends of the time on both a micro (infidelity, drug use, debauchery, lesbianism) and macro (totalitarianism) scale and then attempts to explain their origins. In one of his darker films, director Lewis Gilbert manages to save viewers from the pitch blackness of utter despair by serving up some of his witty British-isms. Racy nudity and the well timed appearance of Ernest Borgnine as Fat Cat come as welcome bits of comedy relief in this otherwise bleak film. An underrated film that shares themes with works like Shakespeare's HAMLET and Gunter Grass's THE TIN DRUM, the overbearing melancholic truths of THE ADVENTURERS evoke both a crippling sadness for humanity and a hope for future generations to come.Product Identifiers

The Adventurers. Missed the Mark.
While I have always been a fan of Harold Robbins, this film is so horribly sanitized, that there is very little character development, While Robbins is know for much sexual activity in his books, "this one especially" but without a certain amount of it in this case fails to truly get into the relationships of Carolyn De Coyne, Sue Ann Daily and Amparo, and the grit behind it. As it is a So-So film. Remake it today with a better understanding and expressive story line, and I believe it would be better. Even with an "X" rating.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Shocking in some areas
I saw this movie more years ago than I like to admit. It's engaging but a little more bloody than I remember. The male lead star was quite handsome, but I don't think I ever saw him in any other films after this one. It seemed his life somewhat parallelled that of Porfirio Rubirosa when he was alive. M.
