I saw this movie six times when it first came out, and loved it.
There were snatches of dialogue in it that were pretty funny, and Lee Hazelwood was outstanding as bad guy Dual Metters.
Richard Widmark plays a rascal better than anyone else, and he was perfect as Dr. Emmett Taulbee.
The movie also starred the great character actors Charles Tyner and Bo Hopkins.
I've often wondered why this movie hasn't been made available on DVD.
Saw it again about a year ago on a very blurry VHS tape, and although it was pretty dated after thirty-five years, it was still a watchable movie.
