I’m sure at the time Warren Beatty was praised for putting on a big David Lean-like epic with all the trains and extras and running time that involves. He bit off a lot here and you have to admire him for that. But it feels kind of pointless and sad. Very 70’s, although released in ’81. The interviews with the real people reminiscing was probably very groundbreaking at the time, but it doesn’t really reveal that much about the subjects, who seem epically misguided.
