It was classed R certificate but I did not understand that. Possibly it was only the second R rated movie released where I lived. I walked in off the street, saw the movie and left. No other film has left as deep an impression. I saw this movie when I was out of town so on my arrival back home, I gathered some friends and told them they must see this movie. We all trotted off and watched it, the second time for me. The picture finished, the audience as one rose from their seats and walked outside- in total and complete silence. It wasn't until people walked some distance from the theatre that small pieces of conversation could be heard. I guess I was like the others when I saw it for the first time. It was just on the second viewing I was more aware of what was going on around me. The audience was stunned, too full of their own thoughts to think of talking. I read once that the greatest applause is silence. If this is true it beats the standing ovation given by an audience for The Sting (movie) which I saw many years later. love ed I saw this film as a young man.
