This is so heartbreaking! Niven’s understated performance makes the emotions all the more powerful.

I think I had seen this movie. I can't believe that David Nivens won an Academy Award for Best Actor for this portrayal. With all the bad make up, hair and moustache.

No, he won it for all of that. This is the best performance I ever saw him give. maybe you need to rewatch the entire movie again. Excellent acting by all of the cast.

@@aspenrebel The hair and mustache and him looking older than he was, was all part of his pathetic character. The Major was a pervert trying to look like the honorable retired War hero, when he was a has-been supply sergeant in a back-water post on the other side of the world from the battle. That's why he got the Oscar and deserved it. And ofcourse Mr. Nivan was an actual war hero.
