truly a "great film"

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 1999)

This movie has it all. Great photography, solid acting, splendid editing (using sound links and other ingenious transitions), masterful directing, legendary music, lavish production design, and a completely engrossing script. What more can be said? If you haven't seen it, then do so. And if you have, see it again for a reminder of how great movies used to be made. Absolutely worthy of its classic status. The only gripe may be that the story may not be comprehensible to first time viewer's if they have no prior knowledge of the actual events the movie is based on. Otherwise help yourself. Enjoy.
