Entertainment Reviews:
The Prize is a Cold War thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously but really should have. It's a convoluted mess of a film. The dramatic and comedic elements clash and on the whole the story feels disjointed.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Suffers from an unevenness of tone which cannot balance the political turmoil with the sexual playfulness.

The film doesn't have a single rhythm drop. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: C --
Set in Stockholm during the Nobel Prize ceremonies, the film is an unsuccessful blend of politics, international intrigues and romance, but the sight of a semi-naked Paul Newman in a nudist colony might appeal to his fans.

Newman heads the cast of this flawed but enjoyable comedy thriller based on Irving Wallace's spy yarn.

Mark Robson's direction gives The Prize tension and humor, and a good deal of interesting characterization. The Prize should be a much discussed and popular attraction.

Rating: 3/4 --
For those into high-polish thrillers full of international intrigue and danger around every corner, this one's not to be missed, and a tightening of its midsection would have made it even better.
