...Vietnamese Communists, between 100 and 200 strong, infiltrated Phnom-Penh during the dead of night, divided into three teams and went quickly to work.

Ophuls ends this superb and important film with memories of a teen-age schoolgirl killed accidentally as she rode home from a dance one night in an ice-cream truck. An innocent life, a senseless death: the fury and the contradiction and the hopelessness of the whole situation come down...
