I don't think anyone who has seen this flick can argue with this...........Without the intriguing presence of the androgynous, chameleon-like DAVID BOWIE in the title role as THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (TMWFTE), this flick would have never worked half as well as it did.
This would be BOWIE's first venture into the realm...
