Hi HarmoniaThanks for your reply. It was very enlightening - I had no idea of the genesis of this movie. I don't have a DVD player so I had to suffer :-) through the VHS version which doesn't have the commentary you refer to.
I hope I didn't come across as an ignoramus by berating the movie for its paucity of plot - I did understand, and indeed appreciate, the subtler themes running through the movie. I was grateful it wasn't Gladiator At Sea.
It's funny that movies are like music (and any other art form for that matter) - they are much more enjoyable when one understands what the creator is trying to achieve. Thanks again. I really should get myself a DVD player so I can partake of those extras, shouldn't I? :-)
Cheers. Doug
