I watched this in the theater when it came out in 74 and didn't really care for it at first because I thought it was going to be more of a science fiction film. I don't like musicals, ( You couldn't pay me to watch Mamma Mia.) but that's not the big part of the movie it is just a vehicle of the film. That being said I do like a lot of the songs and music and as it turns out it is a science fiction movie. This really grew on me over the years but nobody I ever loaned the tape to, yes I said tape, liked the movie, everybody hated it. I think the movie is brilliant but very dated now and it has a lot of silly parts to it and I feel it begs to be remade. We don't need another giant ape movie but this could be a great endeavor.
