This Is One Solid Piece of Debris!


I heard about this movie when Mason died, but of course never recalled the title.

I knew Mason then from Journey To the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues, may have seen him in a tv mini-series or something.

I had always wondered what that movie was he had done, that was known for it's ending.

With the arrival of the internet, I finally scratched around and deduced what the movie was. Then I forgot about it.

I'd see another Mason movie and look it up again, finally managing to look for it online and watching it.

My first impression, mainly for Newton, was it was a bit disorganized.

Now it aired on tv and I watched it again. Could see there was a bit more to Mason and then was intrigued by the old man with the priest. It all seemed a bit stronger.

I knew to see it again, it would then have more, so now I'm watching it for the third time.

This movie is heavily excellent. I can't help but wonder how it would have gone had Hitchcock directed it. He seems to be about the best for catching the mood and feel of the setting and era.
