I saw this movie during a film criticism course at the University of
Rochester when I was an undergrad (Prof. Gollin was the instructor).
Apparently the instructor felt it had its redeeming value, although
I've forgotten what these points were.  We had to sit through it....
as I recall I was not enthralled with the movie, but after our
discussions I did find some value in the picture.  The picture is
on a "higher plane" I believe.
