Congratulations (belatedly) in my contest with NIkko, Robert. I remember as a little kid, my older brother just adored this one but I could never seem to stay with it. I wonder with all those repeats if I ever watched it all the way thru. Surely I must have. Anyway, it's an excellent movie to showcase. Instead of a scene you kind of did a summary of each phase of his life. Very interesting!!
