At least it has Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson arguing, unlike most World War II movies.  Robert Aldrich directed and co-wrote.

Crime Drama?

DVD

This seems well-made-- the pseudo-documentary style is arguably much smoother than in Star!-- but it's hard to watch such a despicable main character.  (Stratten seems like a supporting character in the first quarter hour.)  Bob Fosse wrote and directed.

This is based on Flowers for Algernon, which I remember enjoying when it was assigned in high school.  I probably saw the movie around then, too, either in class or on TV.  I don't think it's held up especially well, but I've certainly seen worse.  Ralph Nelson directed.
