A particularly progressive Sunday School teacher took my entire junior high
class to see this movie when it came out.  It made a big impression on me--
I think it was the first movie with an adult theme I'd ever seen.  Ennio
Morricone's score figured in my bassoon playing years -- all those double
reeds, and there's a "Climbing the Falls" bit where a bassoon does these
arpeggios up and down over strings...

This is a truly great movie.
