Gathering in the picture three legends as Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Laurence Olivier should be a smashing hit, but it doesn't happen, the hard times at American Revolution could be had a seriously approaching over such crucial events, somehow the plot is driven to a slight bitter humor, as Kirk Douglas's character spreading acid comments about the law, surround by ironies, Burt finally understood who must change his peaceful manner to get back his country, but how he reshape himself is too contradictory, in other hand the most intriguing role is without doubt from Gentleman Johnny who represent the grandiloquent British Army himself, the smart chatting with Dudgeon is an example, sneering, polite to talk, never raising the voice, quite opposite his subordinate officer Major Swindon, when he faces Anthony Anderson he spoke in same way, everything collapses when he realized that the British Army didn't reach at Albany to help him, when the picture includes some animated cartoons sequences, stay quite clear a humoresque style to tell the history, spoils a little bit, mostly by Kirk's character who enjoy-oneself in such dramatic happenings, another contradiction, it's shot at England!! Do you
understand what's meaning by British people??? Think about it!!
