The film wants to be Casablanca a love triangle between isolationist American (Humphrey Bogart, Redford), beautiful woman of Swedish descent (Ingrid Bergman, Olin) and committed revolutionary (Paul Henreid, Julia) but, among the ways it fails, it fails most spectacularly this way: while Redfords isolationist American may give up the woman he loves, as Bogarts did, he never becomes politically engaged.
