Since it's first showing, I have seen this film about five times over the intervening years, just yesterday acquiring the DVD. It's a 'must-see' classic piece of television drama (but very much a 'filmic' experience). The quality of the writing, acting and direction are pretty much near faultless. Watch, appreciate, and don't let anyone disturb you for its 80 minutes running time. Ban all talking in the room if you are watching it with others.
And now, some fill-in to make this review 10 lines in length (why does IMDb insist on a minimum of 10 lines for a review?). With such a requirement, one has to waffle if one does not wish to go on at length and encapsulate one's feelings about the film in question in a mini-review. IMDb, please alter this ridiculous requirement of 10 lines minimum personal reviews. Short and succinct and "to the point" should be the order of the day. Many noteworthy film review books (not Halliwell's by the way) have four or five line length film reviews, and that does not in any way detract from their readability or opinion or contribution.
