But Donald Pleasence man... he's bloody hilarious! Oh how I'd love to see that character in a better film . . . |
I don't agree at all (except for the bits about Pleasence being amazing), but the main reason I don't agree: one of the best soundtracks of the 70s!!! That opening tune is just exceptional.
