Way off base. An excellent Nicolas Roeg movie. Saw this when I was in my David Bowie obsessive phase so many decades ago. I tried to collect all his albums in a period of five years. Got quite a few and now - all lost in a horrible mix-up of a move from state to state. A tragedy to a collector like me.<br /><br />Oh Candy Clark! She and Karen Black were two of the best indie actresses of the 1970s. You know, I saw Clark in some indie movie made only a few years ago playing the mother of a gay guy and she still has her acting chops all these decades later. She was a bright spot in an otherwise forgettable movie. Can't even tell you the title. But Candy Clark was there for sure.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-56591027770711345632011-08-17T17:23:22.898-04:002011-08-17T17:23:22.898-04:00I loved it -- and all the cast.

Indian Railways—the world's fourth largest rail network after those of USA, Russia and China—runs on over 64,000 km (nearly 40,000 miles) of track and passes through over 7,000 stations.

Was I way off the mark! I hadn't heard of THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH until now. I like only some of David Bowie's music; let's see if I like him as a visiting alien.
