I doubt it. I don't make a habit of watching films that get an RT
rating of 3%.
And the actual reviews were even worse, IIRC.
And, no, Bruce didn't save it. Not even "sort of". According to the
reviews, that is.

The /real/ question is:
is this film so bad that, had I seen it with my fellow-soldiers in the
70s, we would have concluded that it must have /escaped/, since no
sane person would ever have released it?
Note that we were seeing these films on post, so some of them were
being run through the circuit to see how we reacted before inflicting
them on the general public.
Indeed, the DVD of /The Big Sleep/ (Bogie & Bacall version) comes with
two sides: one has the original version, shown to the US troops in
Europe, and the other has the recut version (recut to give Bacall more
glamour shots) that was released to civilians. They actually had to
re-film the ending because the original actress playing the missing
wife was not available to help with inserting more Bacall into it, so
using the Army as a test audience was a long-standing practice by the
70s. (All info on the two versions is based on a "special feature" on
the DVD.

I think that I ve seen part of the trailer. Only part, I switched to
something interesting. However, Bruce was out front with a Very Big Gun.
He s a _general_? Generals aren t supposed to be out front with Very Big
Guns. The last general I can think of who was out front with a Very Big Gun
or close enough to it was the gentleman in Korea who got a Medal of Honor for
killing a tank with a grenade... which begs the question of What the _####_
was William ####ing Insane Dean _doing_ close enough to an enemy tank to kill
it with a grenade?! Worse, Bruce has a sword or a machete or something; the
last general I can think of who actually used a sword in action was Colin
Campbell, while assaulting Lucknow s gates, with, ahem, a boy piper on the
parapet playing #### o the North , but then that ol boy _was_ the
madman previously famous for the Thin Red Line. And, besides, he was a Scot.
Us Gaels, we got a thing for sharp edges, we do. What s Bruce s excuse?
