Reviews
Laudable though the intentions may be, there's something a little hollow about this all-star oral history of the Vietnam War.
Adds immeasurably to the growing stockpile of testaments about this tragic war.
Mr. Couturie, the director, and his associates have done a first-rate job.
The first film about Vietnam to come to us free of bias, free of rhetoric.
