10/10

"There are different reasons to watch different movies. Plot, scenery, acting, music score, special effects ...Let's make this as simple as possible. The plot is OK. The setting/location/cinematography is OK. I liked Ryan O'Neal in Love Story and What's Up Doc. He's good enough here. But, this movie is a 10 for one, and only one, reason.

As of 2025, she still holds this record. She was four years younger than her rival nominee, Linda Blair, in The Exorcist (1973).
