Yep, I have seen the movie a long time ago and the thing I liked most about it was that the soundtrack was recorded by Van Der Graaf Generator. I was also sent the wrong Eyewitness twice a few years ago. I even tried renting the wrong one to see if I could get the one I wanted but no luck. Now it's a couple of years later and I'm trying to get it again. I hope I get the 1970 one. I't just came in today and it's the right one the 1970 one. I also like anything Susan George is in. And the VDGG soundtrack is instrumentals - they are different recordings than any others by the band. Some of the melodies are familiar. Get it for that reason alone.

I guess I would have liked it but was sent the wrong DVD twice so I never was able to see it.
