Not the best adaptation of the novel, my favorite being John Guillermin's from 1978.

I'll have to check out the '78 adaptation if I ever have an opportunity to. I thought this one was very entertaining. But you know, maybe there is something to what you are saying. I got caught up in the
atmosphere of that era, which I tend to love on film. I still think it was a great watch though.
