This is my third viewing of Ike: The War Years and it continues to be as enjoyable as when I first watched it. I am a fan of military history and docu-dramas. Robert Duvall and Lee Remick are superb as Eisenhower and Summersby. Both actors capture the roles beautifully and there is tremendous onscreen chemistry. The story is based on Ms Summersby's account of her time as Eisenhower's driver and their relationship is an integral part of the film. The script is very good and supporting characters are well played. The film is very grainy and it would be great to have this re-mastered and released on blu-ray. That aside, do yourself a favour and watch this splendid mini-series of Eisenhower as allied supreme commander in the second world war.
