The Conquerors. Awful movie that may have led to the Duke’s death years later.

Paul Muni as a Chinese peasant in THIS GOOD EARTH was believable and yes, fantastic. WHY? Because the makeup was well done and he didn't do it as a white man. The viewer BELIEVES is IS the fictional character.

Having some black actor portraying a WHITE HISTORICAL MAN, is NOT believable and ruins the whole damned thing!

Rooney in BREAKFAST AT TIFFIANY'S is not well done, not believable, is a caricature, so that's the problem with that. But he's portraying a FICTIONAL person, so it isn't quite as horrific.
