...every word, rejected the West's plea for an impartial commission of Southeast Asia neutrals, insisted, like Molotov, on settling political issues before a truce was signed. Bedell Smith flung in his face one of Chou's own dictums, spoken in 1945: "Truce is the military counterpart of the political tactic of coalition government. It is a means to an end, not the ultimate objective." After two days of Communist arrogance, even the doggedly hopeful Anthony Eden was disillusioned-at long last.

It is a cinematic counterpart of the long evening with a photograph album. The pictures are often amateurishly taken, the continuity is rakishly discontinuous, and the narration is written and read like a fifth-grade paper on How I Spent My Summer Vacation...
