If you watch this movie at some advanced age (without specifying what advanced means), it a pleasant experience.
Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster are role models that even when you age, you can follow a different role model than the archetypical grandpa.
Watch it in the evening, maybe with a glass of wine and then celebrate your age.
Included is a bit of an 80ties flair. A bit overplayed, maybe, but still it's good enough to show how the world has changed. Another piece of sentimentality is when that especially Kirk Douglas represents the old world of a guy who is simply a guy. Even in the decade of 2020, the simply stand for a different way of being. Not woke, just old man. Maybe they are rare today, but they will be remembered.
