...slow, believable way she al lows Carney's realism, his low-keyed contempt for such nonsense, to win her over. It may be a trifle too much for the film to suggest at the end the blooming of, as we now say, "a relationship" be tween them. Spade or Marlowe would have let her go. It may be that Benton is occasionally a trifle too aware of his own cleverness. On the other hand, he has made a first-class entertainment out of material that has defied other modernizers...

As camera crews shot around them, they went about their everyday lives of working, eating and even giving birth. Since the Pentagon threw up its hands at the antiwar, antiArmy script, Coppola turned to the more amenable Philippine army, which provided helicopter pilots. The only trouble was that, although the Philippine pilots knew how to take off and land, they were baffled by the intricate maneuvers Coppola demanded. He handled that problem by hiring former...
