Terrific film - terribly underrated. Huston did some nice work in the 70s. I love his Wise Blood too. I once asked an English teacher why Huston seemed to make such good adaptations of literature while so many others fall flat. His response: "Huston knew how to read."
Susan Tyrrell is wonderful in this. She led and leads a tragic and facinating life. She lost both her legs to a blood disease in 2000 and continues to work in theater and voice acting. I'd really like to meet her.
