Seen before. DId not see again. Great Director, but it is a bit stale for our times. submitted by Tassos on January 12, 2023, 8:41am Not very interesting, despite made by a great director. Not any more, at least. Not a classic. Still it is interesting to see the vast difference in society in a few short years, from the early 60s shown here, to the late 60s.
