I first saw this film in the early 1970s. Since that time, the pathos of this story and the unforgettable, haunting score has remained with me. There's never, ever been anything quite like it for me.
As an Australian thanks for recommending one of our classics :-)
I remember this terrifying me as a 12 yr old
