Kirk Douglas gave such a fine performance and I always liked him best in this role because his thrist for freedom reminded me so much of my grandfather.

And there's a reason why we keep seeing Carroll O'Connor's truck driver.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-1146181940420168452020-03-27T09:42:16.730-04:002020-03-27T09:42:16.730-04:00What a great film this is.

Love Douglas and very sad he left us recently - although, he lived a long and very full life.<br /><br />Hope that the Print and Transfer is good on Amazon - it is only available to rent or buy. As much as I love Amazon, often these older films are just poor quality digital transfers from poor quality DVDs - many of which, themselves, were made from bad prints.<br /><br />I will take the risk, though, based on this excellent recommendation.Eric Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494404128694639359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-13305850122707376902020-03-24T12:26:01.681-04:002020-03-24T12:26:01.681-04:00I love this film, and it is my favorite Kirk Dougl...I love this film, and it is my favorite Kirk Douglas movie... except for the last two minutes.<br /><br />Jerry Goldsmith's score for this film is in my top five scores for all time.
