GOD BLESS GREGORY PECK!!!
I watched this film as part of TCM's Salute to Gregory Peck, one of the greatest actors ever to grace the screen. He was great in the two versions of "Moby Dick" (as Ahab in the 1956 Version, and as Father Mapple in the 1998 USA Miniseries), and was excellent in "To Kill a Mockingbird." As for this film, Peck put his heart and soul into his portrayal of one of history's greatest military generals: General Douglas MacArthur. The scenes dealing with other people and events tend to lag at times, but Peck's outstanding performance and the epic battle scenes (featuring visual effects that are awesome for 1977) make this film a must-own!! Grade: A+
