I even gave up buying saran wrap in the Walter Mitty hope of converting production of napalm at Dow Chemical to better things.

Though Greene is a self-admitted "amateur" at film-making, he has produced a technically superb film in view of the adverse working conditions. He had no crew and did the lighting and sound himself, while operating the camera (from electricity off his jeep battery). The color of his film is good, though some of it was not processed for three and a half months. Kodak recommends processing movie film within 24 hours after exposure...
