I saw it once. I can't remember if I walked out. I do recall it was a very unpleasant experience and I have never had the slightest urge to see it again.

It is like so much trash from that era. There is no nostalgia in it for me.

“I could not watch it the first time when it originally came out”

Me, either. I tried to watch it on VHS maybe ten or fifteen years after it came out and turned it off after maybe 30 minutes.

I’m watching “The Pawnbroker” right now based on recommendations here on FR. It’s about a German concentration camp survivor who becomes a pawn broker in NYC after the war. He (Rod Steiger) is a deeply disturbed individual no longer able to love anybody after his experience in the camps. It is about the most melancholy and sad film I’ve seen in a long time.
