Hmm. Yes, I had just watched it again thru streaming. The part with the apes to the beginning of something new. A very apt description of the film have you made. Impressive indeed, sir! I am always struck by your words.

It's a very deep film, Kim, and groundbreaking. For something made in 1968 it is still well ahead of it's time. A Sci-fi classic. Thanks for popping by. Viv x

Thanks, Andrea. I look forward to yours,as long as it isn't 'The Texas chainsaw massacre'. Not a fan of the gory stuff. 'Finding Nemo', maybe? Viv x

Thanks, Tim. I still vivdly remember going to see it back in 1968 at a local cinema that had the super-wide screen and an awesome sound system, it was the only one of it's kind for miles. Perfect for the film. Oh, and a licensed bar- I had half a schooner of sherry. Regards, Viv
