Did You Know?
Trivia | In Britain, this film had a limited release on the art-house circuit in 1980 in a double-bill with a famous film made half-a-century earlier, Luis Bunuel's "L'Age D'Or", which had only recently come off the censor's banned list. One critic remarked that this double-billing meant that he had had both his best and his worst cinema-going experience of 1980 on the same evening. See more » |
