MACARTHUR (Theatrical Release USA 1977)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì 

MacArthur—rushed—suffers from the small presentation of ten very important years in General MacArthur’s life. In addition, the casting choice of Gregory Peck to act the part of MacArthur creates confusion due Peck’s lack of power to relay the personality of MacArthur’s personality well. This movie lacks impression and impact.
