1. Just happened to watch it, a few nights ago,

for the first time in at least 20-22 years. It's a very well-made film (love the '70s accouterments, too) and an excellent mystery. Tough one to guess the murderer in, though the clues are there all along. The cast was great (Racquel was a bit of a weaker point, being a little too breathy, though I guess she played the part of pretty actress at a crossroads well enough considering that's exactly what she was then -- other men of weaker constitution, of course, might be tempted to look upon her bikini'd body with lust...but not I).

Great stuff!

The '70s generated some of the best films ever, both the Big Important Films we all know and smaller films like this one.

5. I mention this film ALL THE TIME to firned
I mention this film all the time to friends and they have never heard of it or seen it. The film requires you to think and use your brain, something a lot of movie goers are not use to these days.
