I first saw the TV series when I was a kid in the mid 70s. Didn't think much of it. Then I saw the movie on TV with my grandmother a couple years later. Blew my mind! Love Peter Ustinov's character! "All the people all the time!"
The effects were early Dr. Who. But, the concept is terrifying, a bit like today's opinion on aging, we seem to have no use for the older generation, at least the type with ethics, kindness, and wisdom. The Giver reminds of this movie.
A few years ago I took a couple of Saturday classes at a local community college in voice-over work. The instructor was giving a power-point presentation and the familiar still of Sean Connery in his Zardoz costume standing on the beach with the six-gun in hand showed up onscreen. It was a bit low-res, so if you didn't know who it was, you wouldn't have been able to tell. The instructor said he needed an image to represent SOMETHING RIDICULOUS so he typed that into Google and that was the image he got. He then said to not be ashamed if we didn't know who or what we were looking at. I raised my hand and said, "Excuse me...". He said, "Yes"? I replied, "Sean Connery, Zardoz, 1975, directed by John Boorman". His eyes nearly popped out of his head and his jaw dropped as he exclaimd, "HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THAT?!?!?!". To which I replied, "I'm a fan-boy from way back. Show me a still from any movie no matter how obscure from George Melies "La Voyage dans la Lun" to "The Empire Strikes Back" and 9 out of 10 times I can tell you something about it. You could have heard a pin drop.

For me it was one of those impactful movies the I didn’t realize would be so much later in my old… I mean, mid-century GenX years. 👴
hey.. just heard that Logan's Run is on Tubi currently
Yeah, I forgot where I just recently saw it, but it was on a free streaming platform for sure. 👍
It is. Just watched it last month.

Renew!
I try to “Renew” every morning, but it’s getting harder every day!? 🤣
Still love this flick. Now... let's talk about Zardoz!!!
I don’t remember that one, but I’m definitely going to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation! 👍

Carousel gave me nightmares.... and I still dont like seeing it. those outfits are just plain creepy.
That may have been what left such a deep impression on me as a kid. I think disco influenced those outfits!? 🤣
