9/10

"I remember watching this in 1966, when it was on TV. I finally got a DVD copy of it in 2022, so watched it again.....66 years later. It was worth the wait. Sweet, moving, and profound. Dustin Hoffman got 3rd to 4th billing, which was correct for this, but he and Orson Bean really made the film. This is the way TV used to be. We miss it...."
