Kentishsax W @RT41818362 01/17/2025 This turned up on British TV likely mid 1970s and it stuck with me ever since but it never turned up on traditional broadcast TV again. It stuck with me all those years and eventually came out in England on a blu ray/DVD combo. Still as involving as I recalled and easily could have been a cinema release, as a lot of the ABC Movies of the Week could have been (I know Duel, anothe TV movie of the week, was released to cinemas in a slightly longer cut with more bad language - unnecessary, of course!).
