Waterloo was good, next up, ZULU!
At the time LofA came out, it was one of the longest movies ever released and all those scenes of arid, vast deserts made the run on the concession stands during intermission a race to get to the drinks first. It was either Bob Hope or Johnny Carson who gave a succinct review of the film: "Four hours in a sand trap"...
