Still good after 40 years

watched it tonight for the first time in 40 years.

It's been a few years, but it was very good.

and will still be in another 40!

I saw it in the theater when it was new. Don't think I got it on deeper levels, but it seemed a very taut thriller. I liked the feeling that I was watching a Foreign Film, but I think there was more to it.

I saw it in the theater when it was new, iirc. Went with my Mom. I recall it being very gripping but haven't seen it since.
