The Lost Gem of Nicholson's career

I saw 'The Passenger' when I was 14 and it blew me away. Now, we're fortunate enough to have the bulk of Jack Nicholson's 70's films on DVD but there is no sign of this one. I hope it doesn't become a Forgotten classic as has happened to other actors; Robert Redford, 'Little Fauss and Big Halsy; Al Pacino and Gene Hackman, 'Sacrecrow'. To paraphrase Jim Morrison: We Want it on Special Edition DVD and We Want It NOW!

Peace, Compadres.
