Life and times of an American military man (George C. Scott).

Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Entertaining as a conventional war epic, a character study by Scott of a rampant egomaniac, and a debunking of war heroism. Since there was something in it for everyone, it was unsurprisingly a big hit.

The co-screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola went on to re-examine much the same themes in Apocalypse Now, a darker and more disorganized work.
