I watched it several times while on all night watch in the NAVY. We had the old 16mm projectors that were shock hazards and not to be used, but in Antarctica you use what you brung. When VCRs came out I made a tape and played it dozens of more times. I even recorded the music of the cemetery scene to play on my truck tape player. Now I have the DVD. Can't get enough of that film. The DVD also has the cutting room floor scenes which enhance this very long film. A masterpiece.
