There are interludes of genuine hilarity, chiefly provided by Bob Dishy as a zany, Teutonically accented technician of ever-improving death machines who is always ready to sell his services to the highest bidder.

Christopher Walken, however, breathes radiant innocence into the unknown soldier, and stirs the only honest emotion of the evening...

Johnny called up New York, says a friend, actually sobbing. "They didn't laugh," he said. Carson blamed Bruno and bought out his contract...
...flying medics were a special breed, exposed to enemy fire for only an hour or two at a stretch and not every day at that, Dr. Bourne wanted to study the reactions of ground forces in constant danger and therefore under continuing stress. To do this, he and Technician William M. Coli joined a Green Beret detachment of two officers and ten enlisted men stationed at Due Co, southwest of Pleiku and only a few miles from the Ho Chi Minh trail.
