a best actor oscar nomination?
It's a very good film and he's very good in it. But he's also Peck being Peck in the old fashioned way of big stars and I'm going to say probably not.
a sublime performance, i thought
I've always liked this film, rewatched it recently and I think Peck is very good in it. But perhaps more a case of a perfect fit than stretching for the right performance?
I agree it is like he is playing himself much of the time.
