I first saw this movie as a kid and was really taken with it. It's spin was totally supportive of Americas involvement. My reccolection also was that it was much deeper than John Waynes' Green Barrets which came out four years later. Marshall Thompson as the only recognizable star in the picture performed passionately as to the seeming plight and struggle that the U.S. government assured us at the time was occurring in South Viet-Nam. Over the following years since it's release, it seemed to disappear. As public sentiment towards our involvement in South East Asia waned, this movie was shown less often. I personally have not seen this picture in over 35 years and until I found this site could not remember the title. If this movie were on video, I would purchase it. It is a splendid flick and great example of a "period" piece from our film archives!
