Seen it a couple dozen times. Now there's a real movie.

When I got the LD to show to friends, it came *just the day before* so I decided to qual-check it. Watched it all the way through and the next day happily too.

When I got the new (magnificently restored and resubtitled) DVD to show to friends, I *tried* to pre-audition it for only ten minutes, but failed.

Occasionally it plays on a big-screen revival and always I go.

Great movie, and let's not forget the mahvelous Luis Bonfa score and the virtual non-stop samba music in the background.

The recent remake is a major disappointment -- hip-hop, drug dealers, nasty cops -- oh it's a downer.
