Good lord, what a long movie. They cut out the intermission, which meant I had to leave in the middle to pee, but that saved us a good 5-10 minutes so I suppose it was worth it.
Of many amazing performances, particularly those of Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, and Laurence Olivier, I wouldn't necessarily count Kirk Douglas's as one of them. He's OK. He does some acting, and some standing around looking handsome, and generally doesn't make a fool of himself. But I'm not sure that's the same as giving an amazing performance. Laughton is phenomenal.
