The film interweaves clips indiscriminately, as if James Mason as Rommel in The Desert Rats were as valid a reflection of the African cam paign as authentic shots of Rommel himself.

In Manila in 1966, Johnson jetted secretly and dramatically to Viet Nam to stand in front of the troops assembled at Cam Ranh Bay. En route he talked about how he did not have to demonstrate his courage to anybody-but of course, that is what he did on that dubious mission...
