Hemingway and Lawrence of Arabia were two of the best ones, but I'd say Albert Schweitzer, Bronislaw Malinowski, Charles de Gaulle, Anthony Fokker, Erich von Stroheim, that German General or Colonel in Phantom Train, the French Generals in Demons of Deception, and the birdwatching British officer (from Daredevils of the Desert and Phantom Train of Doom) were very good too.
Which movie had the most historical personalities in it?
I think it's probably either Winds of Change (the one with the Treaty of Versailles), Mystery of the Blues, or Spring Break Adventure, but I'd be interested to know which one has the most.
