...intelligence officials insist that the Communist guerrillas are so disturbed by Thieu's attempt to paint all of South Viet Nam into his corner that they have launched a campaign to deface the ubiquitous flags.

But Director John Trent has a subtle feeling for the nuances of small-town life, and scenes such as a going-away party for a Viet Nam-bound soldier are filled with a sense of quiet poetry that might have pleased Sherwood Anderson. In the cast are Tisa Farrow, Mia's preternaturally sensual younger sister, and (as Homer) a robust young actor named Don Scardino, who is the most genial and talented young leading...
