A true classic. I'm always impressed by Nicholson's facial tic as he watches the review of his starving, tattered men marching into the camp.
The only thing that bothers me is not about the film itself, but the Academy, which awarded it best soundtrack despite the fact that the Colonel Bogie March was a WWI staple. It was a brilliant use of it, but the rest of the soundtrack was forgettable.We deal in lead, friend.

Agreed. "What have I done?" ranks with the top film quotes of all time and the entire cast were at the top of their form. I still get a chill when I hear Colonel Bogie and remember the shoeless feet keeping time with the tempo and Alec's facial tic as he proudly watches his command.
Just brilliant.We deal in lead, friend.
