‘FLY’ AND GUTS
My compliments to Michael Wilmington for his accurate assessment of “The Fly’s” many merits (“Top Quality Horror Films: A Shocking Development,” Aug. 31).
This splendid film has been attacked by several critics whose knees jerked predictably at the sight of blood; no doubt audiences afflicted by similar delicacies will denounce “The Fly” as yet another product born of, and appealing to, our sick society.
Wilmington had the sense to look deeper, and the sensitivity to find something there.
