Strange as it may seem, I've had this DVD for about six years, still shrink wrapped. I've seen the movie before, but have never opened my DVD and watched it; perhaps this winter I'll crank it up.

I started attending college in Los Angeles in the fall of '73 - I happened to be walking around Hollywood one day taking photos when I saw this coming down the street:

It parked in front of a theater where they were showing the film.

This must have been several months after the film came out - towards the end of '73 or even early '74 - but they were having some kind of event to promote it, maybe a re-release already as the buzz grew?
