I just caught this on an afternoon double bill on TV paired with Mean Streets.
Whilst MS now looks like an episode of Homicide (not really a criticism, just how influential it as been), DOH still looks as beautiful... no... elegaic as when it was released. From the look of many many of the scenes that are so close to "classical" paintings, well maybe early 20th century American paintings (Wyeth etc) anyway and the music (Aquarium from Carnival of the Animals) to the girl's voice over, this is just such a wonderful film.
