Viewing Notes

Glad I could revisit this one. It came up last year when ppl were talking about MM films during the release of BLONDE. I had seen this but forgot all of it. It’s p great with a few thrilling moments with MM unhinged.

The Eddie Muller intro and outro are very good in adding context and framing the story of MM. I’d like to own this with his commentary.
