Actually talking of You Tube, it's a shame the pivotal train carriage sequence fades out before the conclusion - I guess self censorship on the part of the poster in line with You Tube's fairly prudish values.
However, back to the film, it still remains one of the most exhilarating cinematic treatments of music (yes, the panavision images are a knock-out) and it was great to see the Russell 'rep company' out in force, with Max Adrian chewing the scenery with his few scenes.
