The rather dodgy effects sort of ruin the movie for me. They could have done a much better job using lower-tech effects and models, instead of trying to do before-it's-time compositing.

The color process was also wacky, even for early color. Every time I watch the movie I can't stop looking at Tippi's hair, which seems to change from silvery-green to silvery-blue to silvery-orange, depending on what daylight filter they were using that day. I mean The Quiet Man had a more stable color pallet.

Still, masterfully directed by Hitch, I just wish they'd do a release with the effects cleaned up a bit. Not a Star Wars mutilation, just, well, at least have the birds-eye shots scaled properly so it doesn't look like stock footage from wild kingdom superimposed over an aerial photo.
