...this out of good conscience because I found the opening night of The Balcony mannered, irritating, and interminable. Now subjective judgments don't mean a hell of a lot, particularly from the none-too-enlightened critics of the Harvard Summer News, particularly with a play as ambiguous and difficult as The Balcony. But one or two impressions spring to mind...
...Green Berets have already been overly romanticized in song and book, including Robin Moore's novel, on which the movie is based. "That's a lot of crap," says Lieut. Colonel Robert W. Hassinger, deputy commander of the Special Forces in Viet Nam. "There's not much glamour in our outfit -just a lot of hard work." Well, not quite.

And when director John Wayne departs from it to throw in a little (or, more frequently, a lot of) anti-liberal propoganda, the war movie vets know they're getting a sermon. Not that they don't like the message; they probably groove on it a whole lot...
