An Unforgettable Adventure

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2019)

This film is a classic; it has been for sixty years and it will be for another sixty. This is a perfect example of golden age Hollywood, when the productions were large and expensive, and things were still a marvelous spectacle to behold. This movie isn't as fast paced as more modern war films like "Saving Private Ryan", and I'd argue Lean's later film "Lawrence of Arabia", is still better than this, and more epic too. But this is a film that is truly epic, and it has enchanted people for generations. The chaos, the drama, and the characters are all worth revisiting, or if you haven't yet seen this film, then I highly recommend it. It's a wonderful experience.
