Lloyd has beater the draft by convincing the psychiatrist that he is a homosexual, while Jon and Paul pretend that they are manic right-wingers. Jon asks to be put in the "middle" lines so that he can pick off a few "niggers, spics, Jews, and other commies" while he is shooting "the chinks." Vietnam, and the ways in which it has changed and bedeviled young people, runs through this film like a leitmotif...
...interview was entitled "My Tearful Early Days of Marriage," and in it Mrs. Sato described the Premier as about as fierce an old-style Japanese husband as can be imagined-a rake, a wife-beater and a man so taciturn that he never consulted his wife on anything. It was not only an uncommonly candid flashback of the Satos' early wedded life but a commentary on the old code and how it has been broken.

The title role is played with unerring finesse by Harold Scott, who is sly, playful, sanctimonious or lecherous, as the occasion demands...
...they never do. In fact, when the house lights go down on a concert today, it is often the audience that strikes up the overture. It is a kind of barnyard symphonette. The Hummer and the Time Beater serve as the rhythm section; the Cellophane Crinkler and the Program Rattler handle the solos. In the percussion section, the principal performers are the Bracelet Jangler and the Premature Clapper, while special effects are contributed by the Knuckle Cracker and the Watch Wind er. The Coughers' Chorale is directed by the Dry-Throated, Red-Nosed Hacker, whose feeblest lead always gets...
