This movie is a fine telling of the story it is named for. The characters are for the most part fine, with not much exceptional except maybe Richard Widmark’s Bowie. Everyone is fine, along with a fine look of the film. The film does suffer from a very long 2 1/2 plus run time, while finding a hard time showing much time of fighting.

Barely any thrill in this epic. Weak performances, mediocre cinematography and terrible pacing make this movie very unexciting. It's got some nice mise en scene and even some fine music choices but, for a majority of it, I was bored throughout. It's shocking to see this took up the 5th Best Picture slot the year "Psycho" was released. Thankfully, Hitchcock took Wayne's place in the Best Director race.
