I have them lumped together in my memory, sort of like mental compression of a file, you lose some data, but you gain a lot of space that is useful for other things like remembering how to breathe and stuff...

Yes, it was, and based on a damn fine Harlan Ellison Novella, too.

'Til There Was You (this one, since there are actually several movies by that title.)

SOOO painfully boring. At least when I'm seeing a movie I hate, I can get into actively hating it. This movie just gave me a headache.

SWMBO was permanently scarred by watching Ilsa, she wolf etc. as a teen. I can't imagine, it must have been bad. Hello parents?

I can certainly understand why; I was perhaps 18 myself. Its images remained with me for years. And I saw it at a DRIVE-IN! Can you imagine???

Considering the era in which it was made, I cannot imagine the targeted audience, you know? If it were made now.....even NOW I cannot imagine....it was not merely sadistic, it was all torture, murder, mutilation....sooooo vile. I have never mustered the courage to do a Search on it, to see who the devil made this thing - and WHY!

Allow me!

No one you have ever heard of, I'm betting. Here's the Director's curriculum vitae. The most legitimate thing he ever did was act in a few episodes of "Hunter". It all goes downhill from there.

Yes, if you mean the Ted Neely version.

A couple of years ago a new director did a made-for-TV version that was very good, IMHO.

I disagree. I played the soundtrack to death in school, and the movie is a faithful, if not perfect reproduction of that pleasant memory. Like watching a concert movie where the songs are ones you originally loved as studio tracks.

Really, V? Did you listen to the movie soundtrack or the stage version? The one I played to death was the stage version. It's been decades since I've seen the movie, but I remember there being a significant change in one of the high priests, low voice to high squeeky voice. I remember it really irritating me.

When listening it was the The Original London Cast Recording. I remember the same changes you mention. They grated (some) on me too. But I still like the movie, and I still like the album's music better than the movie's music, but I like them both.
