Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have seen Gary Saderup perform in real life and his performances are always compelling. This film in was shot in a small playhouse and edited to make it something slightly more than a theatrical, one-man play. Some might find the edited-in effects distracting, but I really enjoyed it.The crossfades of veteran's pictures and war footage added context to the dialogue and in some places are quite moving. The story is told completely from Douglas MacArthur's point of view and is a strong script. I continue to be amazed at Saderup's range and his ability to switch characters on-the-fly. It's borders on comical in places, but he keeps it serious. I think history buffs will enjoy this one even though it is nothing like your normal history-channel-movie-fair.

'A tour de force!'
'Saderup brings us the soul and essence of a great American hero.'
Northwest Indie Review
Opinionated, bold, stubborn, loyal, the consummate soldier, a man whose vision was ahead of his time, a man whose values were as American as West Point, Douglas MacArthur was a key figure in the mid 20th century. As portrayed by Gary Saderup, it is as though he lives again!
Veteran actor Gary Saderup has appeared on the Shakespearean stage as Macbeth, Othello and Richard the Third. He has worked with American author Ray Bradbury in creating the leading roles in two original plays. Historical characters are not new to him. He played John Barrymore in 'I Hate Hamlet.' More recently Mr. Saderup appeared as Charles Darwin with actor Patrick Warburton in the hit British play 'Darwin in Malibu'.
In the film adaptation of Steven Rivera's brilliant script 'Douglas MacArthur: Return to Corregidor' Gary Saderup brings his acting prowess to bear in creating a sensitive portrait of the legendary American general.
