I think this is one incredible movie. Aside from seeing it on late-night TV with dozens of commercial breaks, the only times I've seen this on the Big Screen was at the UCLA Film Archives and at the University of Southern California when the director's daughter was present.
It seems as if those in the know are in on a secret: this is a kewl movie!! John Brahm was a terrific director who was not afraid to use unusual shots (ever see the work he did for TV's Twilight Zone?), the performances are exceptional, and Bernard Herrmann's score is top-of-the-line.
Having said that, I must ask the big question: why must the lovers of this film have to wait over a decade between screenings? Come on, 20th Century-Fox, this movie is just begging to be made available to consumers!
