Viewing Notes

One of those films that I mistakenly thought I had seen but recently determined I had not. Catching up on movies from 1970 lately this was high on the list. Nicholson is once again terrific. I’d love to see a better presentation of this movie (got the old DVD release from my library). Very much the kind of film worth revisiting to pick up more of the nuances.
