This film could have been a great documentary- even the description on the back, which lists some of his life features, could have been turned into an enthralling film. But this film is as exciting as a history lesson with a monotonous teacher- about dates in history. This film turns a decent narration into a bad film because it is paired with low-resolution photographs, loud, repetitive music, and abysmal progression. This makes it extremely boring to watch, but great to listen to. If you want to watch this film, pick it up in the dollar bin at your local Walgreen's (thats where i got my copy ) and copy the audio. Then listen to it. Then, it will be very enjoyable.

When people talk about the "good old days" of film-making, they are usually misguided- the same years that brought "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca" brought "Attack of The Killer Shrews" and "Robot Monster". But in this case, it is absolutely true. Many blockbusters today have thin plot, bad acting and great special effects. This film, while already very good with an above-average plot, good music, and wonderful editing and script, really excels in one thing: acting. Every character is perfectly believable through the entire movie, and occasionally (if the movie was filmed without a panning shot camera) you would probably think that is was real instead of simply acting.
