my wife and i saw this movie when hbo or cinemax broadcast it sometime around 1982. we still talk about it . my wife bos also saw the movie in her home at the same time and and it seem that all of u be just too tired or lazy to get up and change the channel ( this be before the day of wireless remote for cable ) . the movie be slow and just incredibly b o r i n g. but then and like a steam engine pull a long train and the movie start pick up speed . by the end of the movie and my wife and i be on the edge of our seat . we later find out that my wife bos have the exact same experience . i would love to see the movie again and but it seem that the slow first part of this movie have turn so many people off that few people have see the whole thing and and therefore and there virtually no demand for this nail biting and on the edge or your seat story .
