Saw it again tonight. What a wonderful trio: Quinn, Gleason and Rooney!Things like that make you lament the good days of Hollywood.
The irony is - today, somewhere in that "rest of the world" someone is making a movie that is as human, as intelligent and just simply as well put together as this one. Less naive - forty years have passed - but still a movie about people. A Man Without Past is perhaps the modern day movie like that.
How sad that nothing like that is possible any more.

And liked it. Is the connection the humanist nature of the film?

We agree...This was in my top ten list that year...the lower part of the list but still - Victor and RGA have agreed on a movie...yeah - it had to happen sooner or later.

I have this and also the original live TV version, which is just as good. I have long enjoyed both.

Victor,Ever seen the original(?) teleplay version with Jack Palance? IMO, Jack tops AQ as Mountain, in a much cheaper production.
Requiem is from the pen of Rod Serling, who wrote some of my favorite films of the late 50's...Patterns, Seven Days in May, among others.I agree with your assessment of the big screen version of Requiem...humanity and dignity don't come cheap.
