GENERALLY Speaking : A spin off from the Sergeants thread. Essays and labeled images, as always, are encouraged. Leave a * on your posts if you'd like someone to add an image.
 MacArthur - 1977"At the start of filming, Gregory Peck disliked General Douglas MacArthur. After filming he changed his mind, understanding the challenges MacArthur had faced. He also stated he believed President Harry S. Truman was wrong to relieve MacArthur of his command in Korea in April 1951. " "Although Gregory Peck had reservations about the film's script and production quality, he later called it one of his favorites roles, if not one of his favorite movies."

The 2 most evil generals in movie history? Not sure if they were evil per se, but historically anyways some of the most inept. War had changed and they had no clue how to adapt. Just send the men into the meat grinder. It's miraculous that there were any men left over from the World War I generation that were on the lines and trenches. |
