it was certainly his first important one. A classic film, for sure.You know, I really liked his performance in "The Boys From Brazil" as Joseph Mengele. Talk about evil! It's not a great film but Peck's performance is great and he and Sir Larry were fine adversaries.
The only really bad movie Peck was in was, IMO, "MacArthur." Peck was fine but the movie stinks! A few of his movies weren't too good but, overall, he had more than his share of great roles in good-to-outstanding films.
He was certainly an actor of the first rank.
