The first time I saw this in 1977 I felt that it was incomplete and appeared rushed in terms of editing. Even the so called "Special Edition", released four years later, had the feeling of not-quite-together-ness. But in the two disc DVD director's cut, Spielberg finally has achieved his vision and now the film unfolds smoothly in a satisfying manner. Richard Dreyfuss stars as Roy Neery, a power comopany line man who witnesses a series of space ships and becomes obsessed with trying to dicover what his visions of a particular mountain (Devil's Tower) are all about. Aong the ay, scientists all over the world discover long lost items from the past. Francois Truffaut has a part as a scientist. Well done with good for the time special effects.
