I've had this on a crappy DVD for about 6 years but always held off watching it. The disc was a crappy pan and scan. This is a film that needs the full widescreen. Looks great in HD too. There are some very nice vistas on display here often populated with thousands of extras, always impressive.

Michael Caine's first major role in a feature film. He's so damn British in this too, it's hilarious.

I'm not really one for war stories and this one didn't grab me too much aside from the cool use of extras (and cows in one scene). It lays out the battle pretty well. Still it's a little hard to get over how much make up everyone has caked on. Caine has a lot of eyeliner. A lot.
