I haven't read/watched the book/film, but I enjoyed this look at how the film chose to adapt certain things - like giving the nameless narrator more character (pun intended 😆) in the movie!

George Pappard was a once in a lifetime actor and new it too. He was a man's man . I love the fact that he never apologize for being who he was. So sad that his drinking did him in. He was great in the "Blue Max" film.

The biggest flaw the movie has is the absurd miscasting of Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man. 21st century Hollywood would not let that slide....

Agreed. You've got this nice little movie, and then there's this racist cartoon character running around and embarrassing the whole thing.
