Richard Jordan should have gotten at least a nomination for this performance.....

Beautiful job, Richard Jordan. Rest in peace.

@lomax343 Sherman is remembered as a great general for attacking the south at its weakest points and commiting attrocities of an unspeakable nature.

He was not a great general, great generals have honor he was a savage man who had great succsess in combat.

@jackpark7927 He died a year after filming. I don't know if it had anything to do with his cancer, but he did have a bad throat problem during filming - went to the hospital for it at least once. But he was also marching and running around outside in 90+ degree weather in Gettysburg in August, wearing tons of clothes made of wool.

Did Jordan pass away not long after the filming? He did not look well in the later scenes.

I was deeply moved by this scene...War is a nasty reality, no matter what its cause or reason. Richard Jordan was great in this movie...Thanks for posting.

GENERAL ARMISTED WAS BOLD

[GrungeRock1991]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Haven't watched it in like 3 years. I just watched this scene on here right now again, and it STILL brings tears to my eyes, without even watchin the whole rest of the movie again before hand.

This scene was always so heart wrenching and powerful.

I had the chance to see the premiere of Gettysburg at the Hollywood premiere, and thr wasn't a dry eye in the theatre. Especially since Mister Jordan had passed away less than a month before (IIRC)

@jptang1701 I totally agree.

Rest well Armistead, you've earned it.
