“Paul Newman and Edward G. Robinson struck me as a curious combination, so I chose to watch u0026quot;The Prizeu0026quot; not having any idea what it was about.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis story about a number recipients in Stockholm about to receive their Nobel Prize, will show how their lives are intertwined in the days prior to the annual event. It is a mystery story that I almost gave up on after a handful of minutes — my own fault for being impatient. A flower takes time to blossom, and so does a movie that is over 40 years old. But I am glad I didnu0026#39;t switch it off.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe intrigue does start to capture after a while and the insights the viewer is granted are satisfying, while our hero is denied these sensations as no one believes him. The 21st century participant of this drama may find parts predictable, but it is very enjoyable, even if a little dated.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePaul Newman gives everything you would expect. And you could say the same for Elke Sommer, since I wouldnu0026#39;t expect anyone to describe her as a terrific actor — good performance for her, and she always wonderful to look at. I would have enjoyed more screen time by Edward G. Robinson in this role that had him more timid than I am accustomed to.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI recommend this movie to everyone that enjoys these actors, although one viewing is probably enough.”
