165 minute running time, that’s right, TWO HOURS AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES long … so it’s an epic of sorts. It’s a cute gimmick, the man born old and ages in reverse … it wasn’t terrible, his life, his loves, but you’d really have to be in the mood to watch something that long. Not a green-go, boring in a way, no idea why the nearly-always-correct Rex Reed thought it was one of the greatest movies ever made.
