This was recommended to me whe I was in in High School in the early 70’s, but I never got around to watching it. Quite a good film for an early effort. You can tell Scorsese is on the move as an up and coming director in this film. In watching it I was stuck by how young and beautiful all these (now) stars were compared to their now grizzled visages. Harvey Keitel’s perfect gymnast body, Amy Robinson’s taut shape and astounding nipples, De Niro’s animal ferocity. It was like a trip in the way back machine.
