I saw Ben as a kid, but never seen Willard 1971.
Have to agree with You here...thought Crispin was really good in parts, especially when he's talking to the Insurance agent at Mom's funeral, but found his pleading for his job to be embarrassing. R Lee Ermy is funny and mean here as usual. Not bad, but could have been better.
Saw BEN with my brother in 1973, but not since then. Guess it's time to put it on NETFLIX.
