Biopic tracing the controversial military man's flamboyant career. Beginning in 1942, when over half the air power under his command was destroyed, and continuing with the part he played in the post-war reconstruction of Japan, the attempts he made to become President, and his dismissal for insubordination during the Korean war, the film strives for a balanced portrait of the great man, showing both his flaws and achievements.

I can't help it, but this is a movie that was supposed to showcase Gregory Peck's mastery, not history and historical events themselves. Gregory Peck is excellent here, he handles pathos incredibly well like few actors can, but honestly, thanks to the film, the life of General MacArthur or any other historical figure didn't particularly capture my interest. But worth mentioning is what was broadcasted on the Japanese radio, which occasionally comes through in the film.
