Alec B @Alec97 Feb 20, 2024 Gazzara is phenomenal (probably the only guy who could have made this convincing) and I really like the lack of plot which fits the mood of the characters. On top of that, the movie is an astonishing visual record of a Singapore that no longer exists.

See more Nov 15, 2020 Ben Gazarra playing a part tailor made for him as the seemingly heart of gold albeit not always moral center; rest of amateur cast is quite amateur See more s r @ScottR May 14, 2020 I enjoyed Singapore having just traveled there. However, I felt myself wondering about the purpose of the movie at the end, but then again maybe there is none and that was on purpose. Saw it on TCM. See more Feb 26, 2020 Superb character study set in Singapore (filmed secretly to circumvent the nanny state's strict censors) based on Paul Theroux's surprisingly and thoroughly mediocre novel. Bogdanovich plays a CIA type; Monika Subramaniam was a local whom B. took home with him to LA after the movie wrapped up. Bogdanovich's extensive use of local amateurs made this a very authentic film with authentic accents. Denholm Elliot used to hightail it to his local young boyfriend as soon as the day's shooting was done. Gazzara was born for the part, cooler than McQueen and suaver than Bond.
