MacArthur 05/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

Brand New HDR/Dolby Vision Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative! Screen legend Gregory Peck (The Big Country, To Kill a Mockingbird) stars as General Douglas MacArthur, one of the most controversial public figures of our time. In 1942, with his position in the Philippines made hopeless by Japan’s destruction of more than half the planes in his Far East Command, MacArthur leaves pledging, “I shall return!” MacArthur does return with riveting victories in the Pacific and the deft handling of the democratization of Japan. He is also armed with Presidential aspirations. While serving in Korea in 1951, his colossal ego and insubordination result in dismissal by President Truman. MacArthur is a compelling story which explores the many facets of his ambitious character and clearly demonstrates his brilliance as a strategist, his lust for publicity and flair for dramatics.
