I had the pleasure a few years ago to see this film in a theater. What a treat...
It's a wonder this movie was so good, considering how
disorganized its production was. Multiple writers, shooting without a finished script, not even knowing the ending until practically the moment they shot it. For most movies, this would be a recipe for disaster. Of course, it probably prevented people from second-guessing themselves, forcing them to go with their first instinct, which is usually the best one.
