    Lots of insight into Douglas MacArthur the strategist, the tactician and the military commander - very little about Douglas MacArthur the man. I didn't learn anything about the General that I couldn't have gleaned from old newspaper clippings and newsreel footage.

    Gregory Peck was an Awesome Actor. Watching his Movies still has a weird magical influence on me. A great Anti-War Movie
