The Finest Film I have Ever Seen!

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2019)

Sam Spiegel who ran horizon pictures out of London had great producing deal with Columbia Pictures and the relationship brought forth On the Waterfront, The Bridge on the River Kwai in this film among others. Sam Spiegel hired David lean to direct this movie which I feel is the finest film I've ever seen.
Peter O'Toole then a young actor unknown to the world gives one of the greatest performances ever on the screen and lost the Oscar to Gregory Peck (The Academy not always known for discretion waited for Mr. Peck to die before awarding O'Toole an honorary Oscar). Supported by Omar Sharif, Anthony Quinn, Alec Guinness the film throbs with intensity. Magnificently photographed and with the score by Maurice Jqrre that as part of film history the movie is a testament to great moviemaking.
