The Appointment (film)

The Appointment is a 1969 psychological drama film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Omar Sharif and Anouk Aimée.

Barry's score also contained a single theme with variations, with the exception of select location scenes.

In his review in Variety, Robert Hawkins described the film as "a flimsy love story which never really catches fire".

Hawkins also mischaracterized the screenplay work, saying "flat writing and an over-rigid performance by Sharif in a crucial role, which at times skirts the laughable, seriously flaw what might otherwise have been an intriguing love tale cum suspenser.
