I know this is supposed to be a "Great Movie". And it's not awful. But the only reason I can see that people think it's "great" is because it's old and it has some "stars" in it. Most of the acting is abysmal caricature. The brits practically strut around saying "Pip pip pip, cheerio, spot of tea, say what?" throughout. Watching the three main characters, the Sergeants, all I could think of was that whoever wrote this must also be moonlighting writing Three Stooges scripts. It *is* an interesting movie in a historical context, both as an expression of movie making of that day and of the underlying story of the Thuggs. But being interesting isn't the same as being "good". Plan Nine from Outer Space is also interesting.... So if you haven't seen it, it's worth watching, but it's no great movie. I would never watch it a second time in a decade.
