It's a perfect film.
In 1972, I saw this Hollywood gem on a PBS channel on some late Saturday night, and fell in love with the magic of great films. After that, at the age of 10, I became a "Friend of Channel 8," which was Arizona's PBS home.
This movie was my first love in a vast treasure trove of great films, and as such it'll always have a special place. Thus, the perfect score may be more heartfelt as it is cerebrally based, but after multiple viewings I still consider it a perfect film.
