“I had seen this movie back when I was a kid, in the 1960u0026#39;s. Thought it was great. Today, though, I can see why I liked it so much back then, but how the acting is actually pretty bad, and the story is pretty inconsistent with actual history.nNever the less, it was a nice trip into nostalgia for a Saturday afternoon. Just donu0026#39;t expect too much.”
