October 21, 2007(1972 Director: George Roy Hill) Worthwhile watch. Valerie Perrine is outstanding in this film setting Kurt Vonegut's talent onto the silver screen..,.the charater "Billy Pilgrim" (played by beautiful Nordic MIchael Sachs)drifts in and out between times/realities..part sci fi...during War time to the present, past...and the planet Tralfamidor!! LOL!!
Wonderful Novel by the late great Kurt Vonnegut!
