Gregory Peck really carried this movie well. Thank God it's just a hair over 2hrs. I don't know if I could stand many more long drawn out scenes. The premise is to wide ranged to get anything worth while out of. Thankfully Mr. Peck was very believable and fully immersed. Had he not been this movie would've been downright awful. If you're a real history buff maybe you'll enjoy this more, but for me I guess I'll just stick to stuff a lot less all over the place.
