When all Americans lost, Geldzahler petulantly...
...COURT-MARTIAL (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). Sexy Diane Cilento, who busted onto the scene a couple of seasons ago as both Tom Jones's black-eyed slattern and Sean Connery's real-life wife, plays a French schoolteacher-Resistance heroine accused of embezzlement...
