I saw it as part of a now-famous class held at UCLA called "Ten Tuesdays Down A Rabbit Hole." Basically, people got tired of hearing Harlan Ellison bitch about the classes being given on science fiction in universities and dared him to put his money where his mouth was and design a course himself. It was *tremendous*. They originally scheduled it in a room that would hold 200 and wound up having to have the class in a hall that held 2000 because it was so popular. Anyway, that night Harlan read his original novella of "A Boy And His Dog" and then showed an advance cut of the film, which had not yet been released at that time. Then we all got to discuss it with the author, the director, and the cast. Neat evening, neat class.
