"This movie is a classic. If you haven't seen it, you are missing one of the all time best movies and performances of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman."
"So glad to have found this great movie. I somehow missed it when it was a "current" movie....back in the day. Caught part of this movie on television...loved it so much that I decided to do some internet research re:topic; next thing I was ordering the book to read from Alibris.com and when finished with the book I just had to have the movie. Glad to have found it....fabulous story-and true!"
