...story gives Widerberg a chance to play games in the trees and the grass and the flowers. At times he is successful. The mock gunfight between Sparre and his friend on a huge old tree is a beautiful tableau. When Elvira and Sparre walk up a road, the scene has the haunting quality of a Munch painting. But these two scenes are the only truly fine outdoor sequences that are properly exposed. In the rest, the greens are mercilessly washed out in white light; exposures are nearly always one to two stops...
...Running Gunfight. Hardly had the diplomats been installed in Aden's Sea View Hotel-behind rolls of barbed wire and a 100-man police guard-than the fighting broke out. It started in the always-explosive Crater District, where hard-bitten veterans of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers shot it out with terrorists in a running gunfight from rooftop to rooftop. Though there were 277 terrorist incidents during the U.N. visit, the casualty figures were surprisingly low-18 killed, 50 injured-mostly because the Fusiliers freely wielded rifle butts and heavy boots to keep the mobs disorganized...
...refusal to arm Jordan's Palestinian refugees against another attack by Israel had merely spurred the flow of contraband weapons that have been filtering quietly into refugee camps on both sides of the Jordan River.

Most often the TV crook will bite the dust in the usual gunfight finale, but on occasion he may die in an auto crash or fall to his death from a tower or cliff. In short, the good guys will still be beating the bad guys-at least...
...aloft in it. The sniper's fire drove it away. Finally four men, who had made their way separately to the tower building through subterranean passages or by zigzagging from building to building, decided to storm the observation deck. Three were Austin patrolmen who had never been in a gunfight: Houston McCoy, Jerry Day and Ramiro Martinez, who was off duty when he heard of the sniper, got into uniform and rushed to the campus. The fourth was Civilian Allen Crum, 40, a retired Air Force tailgunner, who had "never fired a shot" in combat...
