Product: MacArthur (1977)
Rating: 4.0
Gregory Peck shines!
Ok, it is hard to live up to George C. Scott in "Patton", but this is a worthy effort by one of my favorite actors from the past, Gregory Peck. I feel that the storyline is closer to fact than some parts of "Patton" were, as they, including Francis Ford Coppola, were a bit inventive in that movie, to say the least. MacArthur brings out the complexity and hypocrisy in this flawed, but very talented commander, who ultimately was a much more important person in the US Army before, during and after WWII. He was arguably the most powerful US military leader ever. An enjoyable film.
