This day in the life and death of three British paratroopers and their German prisoner is full of grime, gore, suspense and pretension. John (David Hemmings), Tom (Tom Bell) and Cliff (Tony Beckley) are holed up in a war-scarred country house in a European battle zone, waiting for their sergeant. They kid and bicker, establishing basic character traits (educated John, taciturn Tom, sadistic Cliff). They set out some booby traps, kill some Germans and capture one called Helmut (Alan Dobie). With Helmut in tow, they try to make their way back to their own lines, killing and being killed...
...could come in here and tells us about," the councillor pauses for emphasis, "WIN-sor Street." Heavy traffic on Windsor was Vellucci's opener last Monday, but the councillor soon moved on to other favorites--a stop sign at 4th and Hurley, a traffic light at 6th and Gore. After a while Vellucci got tired and said "I have a big long list, but I'll save it for another night when we'll make you the big star here." Rudolph was lucky that time; only one other councillor quizzed him about traffic problems. Sometimes every one of the nine...

...Ormsby Gore turned up frequently on Hyannis Port weekends, at Bobby's Hickory Hill seminars and often in White House inner sanctums. He was beside Kennedy in the Situation Room when the President won his terms on the limited test-ban treaty, urged Kennedy to publish photographic proof of the Cuban missile buildup and persuaded him, over Navy objections, to order a delay in intercepting Russian ships, thereby avoiding a direct confrontation with the Soviets. "It was a freak of history," he says of his influence then. "Those years proved to be the most rewarding of my life." They...
...stranger (Tony Anthony) is a serape-draped loner who joins up with a gang of mustachioed Mexican villains. About an hour after the audience has been sickened by the sight of them drowning priests and kicking women in the stomach, Anthony, too, gets bored by the gore, annihilates the gang and collects the reward on their broken heads. Stranger is actually no stranger at all, but a sloppy copy of such Italian oaters as A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Since the Dollar films were imitation B westerns that copied good westerns, the effect...
