...AFSC. The narrator is at times ridiculous ("All the Vietcong weapons were discovered to be foreign-made") and at times plain wrong ("The Geneva Convention divided Vietnam into two countries--North and South.") Sometimes the sound-track has no connection with the pictures: we hear the sounds of a furious battle, while watching a column of grinning soldiers march casually across a bridge. Worst of all, the film makes no attempt to give the audience the historical or immediate background of what he sees. The war is treated as a natural or ethnic phenomenon, like plagues and Buddhist parades. "Atrocity...

...territory was familiar to the fighting men of the U.S. 1st Cavalry (Airmobile). From late January through mid-March, they had swept the scrub-grown slopes and rocky ridges of the An Lao Valley in a furious, 41-day string of fights that killed 1,342 Communist soldiers and netted 250 enemy weapons. The Reds moved back in when the Air Cav left, but last week-on the foggy coastal plain east of An Lao-they received an encore. "Operation Davy Crockett" proved as sharp-eyed as its namesake...

...with the loot unless Ford gives him his daughter's hand and a general managership. The swag is in two matching bags.

Mechanical Sin. The least that this spate of spies signifies, it would seem, is that ventures into venery, sadism and furious action have set an eyebrow-raising new standard for family entertainment. Kids adore the lethal, shiny toy collection. Dads happily ogle a prepotent heman, king of a computerized wonderland in which every foe can be swiftly vanquished, every voluptuous siren bedded. And women seem quite susceptible to the fantasy of being vicariously mauled by a master of the art, perhaps after flooring him with a karate wrist chop. Slapdash, comic-strip plots, more violent than suspenseful, are made into...
