- ConnectionsFeatured in One Pair of Eyes: Marty Feldman: No, But Seriously... (1969)
Watch this right after FEAR FACTOR and you'll agree, this movie said it first and said it best. Badfinger's delightful music really adds atmosphere. I'm not sure how the reviews were when it came out (1969, 1970?) but I was born in '70 so I wouldn't know. I caught this on the big screen at a matinee in S.F. back in 1988. Really cool and offbeat film I strongly recommend. Should you require a second opinion, check the review results, as most folks rate it a "10".
