Viewing Notes
Requested this so long ago I cannot recall why. Our library started carryout service so I could pick up a few holds, three months after they initially closed on March 16. Guessing this probably got a Kino release and was mentioned favorably on my TL so I put the request in at my library. Plus I’m a Coburn fan so yeah.
Oh! So this is a ‘60s Big Brother paranoia flick that’s also a sci-fi comedy thriller. It’s a tad goofy at times but certainly entertaining for conveying ideas that are still relevant today (telecom surveillance and privacy issues with data sharing).
