As a child of the 70s, I've never seen this series on American TV (reruns that is, I was born in '72) - and I would have watched it!! My understanding this is a BBC TV series from '72-'73. I am happy to see the edited/abridged version put into a film - it's pretty good.
This is a gritty take on the tale, more realistic than the high polished, well rehearsed fight scenes that most films of this nature have. Realistically speaking, real mean would not have been like "superheroes" as they usually try to make them out as in films today. This film cuts past all that fancy, flashy stuff and gives more realism to the action. Film makers today need to realize that "heroes" are not suppose to be comic book "superheroes" - two different things all together.
Nice little film that I'm enjoying watching as I type this review.
9/10
