    Gregory Peck is great. The film itself...
  • August 20, 2007
    Just like Patton, this is another great World War 2 biography. One of the greatest Generals next to Patton.

    MacArthur was arguably our greatest general, and Peck SO nails him.

    Not a bad film performance from Gregory Peck,who gives a role for the ages here. Its not Patton,but its passable.
    Speaking of which this came out around Christmas of 1977.
    One of the most watchable of the "Panavision" films of the 1970's.
    The year before this,1976 was boxoffice gold from Mr. Peck as well,which became a milestone. That year,Gregory Peck and Lee Remick had audiences in their seats in one of the highest grossing films of that year,"The Omen".
