Country: US
Technical: col 111m
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: D.B. Sweeney, James Caan, Anjelica Huston, James Earl Jones, Mary Stuart Masterson
Synopsis:
The son of an old soldier has set his heart on going to the officer academy and serving in Vietnam, but his father's old sergeant buddies do everything they can to dissuade him and keep him at Arlington Cemetery.
Review:
Coppola's 'other' Vietnam film is a conflicted affair, principally because its central conundrum does not really work as drama, though as ever this is thoughtful and expert film-making.
