Wow, that sounds like almost the definition of a cult film. I'm just glad we live in the age of the internet where things like this are more easily and quickly found than, say, a couple of decades ago.

Plenty More on 3 Jan

Hola from the raging sun of Arizona! I'm a first time poster, so please be gentle with me. I really enjoyed this one back in April on TCM and find myself in agreement with pretty much everyone on this thread.
