Viewing Notes

All around great movie and one that I’m shocked that I have not seen until now. So it was quite a thrill to watch it for the first time on the big screen (and as a celebratory screening for Ron’s bday esp. given the release year of 1968!). So many wonderful little moments in this movie beyond the big car chase and foot chase. Glad to own this on Blu so I can revisit after letting it simmer. Definitely has me more excited about my proposed visit to SF in a couple of months.
