A BIG DEAL IN ITS DAY
I remember seeing this in '72 when you had to wait in line to get in. It was a very big deal in its day. Pauline Kael, the authoritative film crtic from the New Yorker, was in esctasy over it and wrote a very long review which appeared in the New York Times.Today, the film seems dated and its trumpeted sex scenes are mild by today's standards.The story is a standard one. A middle aged man becomes hopelessly infatuated with a young girl who proves to be his downfall.Brando at his best.
