MacArthur had the feel of a cheap made for TV movie. Add to that MacArthur was a over-rated general and it was a turn off for me.
I like ‘Cross Of Iron”. A good flick shown from the German point of view.
“Add to that MacArthur was a over-rated general “
Dwight Eisenhower worked for MacArthur for a number of unpleasant years in the 1930s. At some occasion after Eisenhower had been the Supreme Allied Commander Europe in WWII MacArthur was asked if he remembered Ike:
“Of course I remember Eisenhower. Best clerk I ever had”
Eisenhower was once asked if he had known General MacArthur. Ike’s reply:
“Did I know MacArthur? Sure. I studied drama under him for 10 years”
