They don't make then like this anymore

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2006)

I have watched this movie twice now and now I have Gladiator pales a little for me as there are scenes in this which are almost identical .
I think this is a great old fashioned movie the plot is excellent the set although for its time is very good plush is a word I would use .
What really strikes me about this movie though is the acting performances they are really good pieces of acting from the whole cast, Olivier, Douglas , Ustinov , Laughton , Curtis and Simmons they just blew me away at times and I am afraid to say it you do just not see that kind of acting and those kind of performances any longer .
I give this an 8 the only drawback for me is that maybe it is a little long and could have been cut by about half an hour .
It is still great though
