MacArthur

There are those who think he was a dangerous demagogue, and others who say he was one of the greatest men who ever lived. It is without question that he has affected the lives of millions all over the world. In this compelling history following the career of General Douglas MacArthur (Peck), it becomes obvious that he truly was a great man, even though his way of doing things was not always the preferred way. With ego in tow MacArthur sticks to what he believes and is victorious in the Pacific, but in 1951, while stationed in Korea, the General goes over the line and is dismissed by President Truman. After 52 years of military service, he retires with a flourish to a standing ovation. (Tricia Littrell)
