I've always liked this movie, and watching tonight for the first time in years was a joy. I didn't remember the cast beyond Omar and Richard Harris, so it was great to see a young Tony Hopkins and Ian Holm. I also recognized a much younger Roshan Seth (the steward that saves the young boy), who 8 years later, with a few extra pounds, played Nehru in Gandhi.
I grant Richard Harris was a bit over-the-top, but given the cockiness essential to the character I think it was a necessary attitude.
