Totally agree...I always heard the voice was Kim Stanley.

Weird, I posted a thread almost identical to this one.

Yes, last time I saw it, it was streaming so I saw it from the beginning. Who knows the last time I saw it from the start? Used to catch it partway through, airing on TV. I was struck by how sophisticated and modern the opening titles looked as well.

Just about everything about the film is perfect. It's really an amazing work.
