A Little Dated But Still A Classic !

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2001)

AS Recently as ten years ago I think I still might have given this film the whole ten but recent viewings suggest to me that its showing its age.I dont mean to the extent that The Thomas Crown Affair does,nor in the same way that an old black and white classic might do,just that the film seems to be stuck in its own particular time and place and the times have passed it by. Im not going to waste any more time on minor criticisms this is still one of the great movies of the 1960s, great acting and superb images particularly one of the all time great opening shots (Tarantino borrowed it for Jackie Brown) also a terrific soundtrack. 9 out of 10.
