Review of The Magnificent Yankee (1950) by Scott R — 09 Aug 2010
Fairly dull. While I realise that Oliver Wendell Holmes jr was a great and influencial man, and the movie linearly and faithfully recounts his Supreme Court days, the movie doesn't really capture what made him great.
In addition the oldy-worldy gentileness and pleasantries cause this movie to not age well, and make it fairly boring.
