In general, the movie was very good. Stewart Peterson's acting was very good, and so was the camera work. The plot was truly legendary, and is just as unexpected as it is saddening. The clothes and costumes are okay, too. They are appropriate for the time period and location. Click here for the trailer.

While the movie was mostly stellar, I disliked some components. Some of the acting towards the end was not so good as the rest of the movie. In general, the plot was great except for some aspects that I disliked. Like previously mentioned, the camera work was good for its period, but may be seen today as outdated. Furthermore, the special effects were also bad by today's standards.
This movie was truly a timeless classic. It's the perfect example of a great story with a tragic ending. Obviously, for a movie released in 1974, the special effects were mediocre, but you can still appreciate them. All in all, it's a solid 9 out of 10.
