 Rating:  - Old Movies have still got it.Just a great old movie, I wanted to see the performance Bobby Darin got the nomination for best Support, and it sure was a fantastic performance. Tony Curtis was great fun in this movie. Rating: - The Power of the human mind.A great story illustrating the power of the human mind to try to protect itself from one's own deeply disturbing memories and experiences. With many of our country's warriors currently returning from Afghanistan and Iraq with their own private hell memories, this movie does a powerful job showing how war can affect the human psyche.

Also, Robert Duvall puts in a fine show. It is fun ...

The comedic scenes are more jarring than in Mash; it doesn't meld as well. For example they go from a scene with an anquished screaming mental patient to the hospital ward playing hide the salami...literally. The most noteworthy thing is the oscar nominated ... Read More Rating: - David Miller's BestDavid Miller, a talented hack who started out "directing" shorts for MGM, those documentary-style featurettes that would run for six or seven minutes and you now see them presented as "One Reel Wonders" on Turner Classic Movies. Though Miller showcased Robert Taylor in BILLY THE KID and the Duke in FLYING TIGERS, by the 1950s he was primarily thought of as a women's director, a sub-par George Cukor, who reined in Joan Crawford in two of her more restrained vehicles, SUDDEN FEAR and THE STORY OF ESTHER COSTELLO, ...
