I remember seeing this back as a kid at the theater. It really shocked me, being barely in my teens. Not having seen it for over 37 years, I went ahead and bought the DVD recently. Cannot say I really enjoyed it. A bit stiff. Interesting, but nowdays, hardly shocking. Though the first murder was a bit surprising, seeing how well you get to know the character. A nice twist at the very end, from almost comical doom, to vindication. Of course the potato seen was priceless.
Unfortunately couldn't even hold a match to the Blazing Masterpiece known as Vertigo.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
