It really is. Some of it hasn't aged well; the editing and cinematography that were cutting-edge at the time now come off as stilted (to put it mildly) at times, but the structure and Lancaster's performance are still stunning. Besides, I like art that is very much of its time. Striving for timelessness is fruitless and ends up looking sillier in the long run, I think.
Not as big a name as the others, but she had a key role in THE SWIMMER, the 1968 Burt Lancaster film based on a John Cheever story. I just watched it last week, then learned that she had died in November.
What a great movie! I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
