Hi S.R.! You have a good review there. My review of TWM got botched in the posting on the review area of the site and was all bunched together with no paragraph spacing but you hit a lot of the same points I did and a few I didn't. I don't think I commented on the hair.
While his hair certainly was strange in the closing scenes, I found his wardrobe throughout the film most unusual also! I don't think this film would have been as good if they had just dressed Mr. Lee like the "commoners". His May Day maiden outfit was especially fetching. The dress, hair and makeup were just "so" right, then you hear his voice and it creates such a delicious contradiction.
A film rich in nuances, in TWM you'll invariably find something new to think about every single time you view it. Very few films have that rare and golden magic. This one had it in spades.
The dialog in this film was very believable and natural. The location selection outstanding. The simplistic folk music soundtrack holds up.
Ms. Ekland is so beautiful in this film. Her night dance sequence was a source of much youthful lust by this viewer. I found it one of the most effective erotic scenes ever filmed to this day and how Sgt. Howie resisted, I'll never know.

Hi MATT! Did they give you your own airplane when you moved out west?
