The Iron Duke at Granada reviewed by critics
The Granada presents The Iron Duke starring George Arliss in a tedious Wellington biopic. Critics note Arliss handles the role with skill except for the Waterloo charge scene and a lackluster romance. Subtitles interrupt flow. battle scenes feel artificial though costumes and settings are faithful. Ruth Etting short and The March of Time are also shown.
