A lot of fun.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
