It wasn't bad at all, but the remake with Deniro was a lot better. I've seen both, and after seein the Deniro version, the original is too watered down, too tame, the scene where Mitchum fights the long shoremen under the dock, it was too brief and not nearly violent enough.
Mitchum had menace, DeNiro looked like a loon and wouldn't have been let out.
