Good But Not Great

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2003)

I enjoy it whenever I look at this film. However, this film is not the classic that everyone makes it out to be. It is a good story but I feel that it is somewhat undermined by some poor acting. I don't see how Charlton Heston could have beaten out James Stewart and Jack Lemmon for the Best Actor Oscar that year. I also don't see how the film itself could have beaten out some truly worthy films such as Anatomy of a Murder and The Diary of Anne Frank. This is a very good film but for it to be called great is somewhat of an overstatement.
