...think that it's only fair to get some picture of the situation there, to realize the extent to which North Vietnam is an underdeveloped country. You see almost no cars in Hanoi or outside where we visited. There are no facilities for color photography in North Vietnam, very little printing facilities, the few posters I saw were originals and were not duplicated. In other words it's a country that by outward appearances is enormously poor. Now you might think that in their situation the typical scientist would be more directed toward practical things. The kind of stuff...
...asked police to start redressing the balance to some extent," Zavelle said. "It amounts to saying, 'Kids, if you don't have something definite to do here, you'd better leave.' I don't enjoy saying that," he added...
...does, in a different way, the atrocious acting contributed by everyone else in the cast. Director John G. Avildsen keeps the whole thing moving, but it is unfortunate that the script's political pussy-footing and fierce determination to touch all the exploitational bases (to the extent of sacrificing all credibility) trips him up from time to time.

It was presented to the State Department, though, and was circulated among men influential in the formulation of foreign policy...
Thrilling adventure tales are to a large extent translation-proof. But the French colloquially use words like noble and ignoble that in English (and in a rather stodgy translation, too) sometimes make Papillon sound a little like The Rover Boys on Land and Sea. Perhaps more important, the kind of sympathy for Papillon that helped the book so much in France is based on a peculiarly Gallic preoccupation with justice miscarried. For years, France has treated men charged with crimes as guilty until proved innocent, and generally looked upon prison as a place that prisoners should either not survive...
