- to me utterly & completely incomprehensable that this movie has been so neglected , Not included in - more 'popular' -watchlists ( or 'best movie' -lists ... ) - it is a Grand Feast for the eyes and the mind : the story , the acting , the photography is of such superb level !!! - i would hot hesitate to rate it ( - actually with many movie-'professionals' ... ) as among the top twenty best ( cinema-proper ) films ever made .
