...recluse (Melvyn Douglas)−once a prominent judge in Paris, and now a bitter misanthrope who spends most of his time bombarding his onetime friends with mimeographed diatribes about justice. With him live Agnes, his "strange" daughter (Gozzi), and Karen, a sexy slattern of a maid (Gunnel Lindblom, a recruit from the stable of Swedish Director Ingmar Bergman...
Farquahr's plot was concerned with a captain and a sergeant who try to recruit a company of soldiers in the country town of Shrewsbury during the War of the Spanish Succession. Brecht changed the time to 1776; his Captain Plume is the hero of Bunker Hill (he won the battle by cutting open a dike so that the American "dirt farmers" fled to try to save their fields). He and Sergeant Kite are unable to recruit men successfully by legal means; they try various tricks and finally resort to a morality campaign which "cleans up" Shrewsbury by having...

Appointments with prospects are carefully scheduled to avoid the possibility of an embarrassing meeting with other executives in the recruiter...
Anyway, Green Berets should be good for recruiting. Moore's Special Forces men seem to spend little time on the humdrum public health and education programs and antiguerrilla training that are among the SF's major responsibilities. Instead, they recruit pretty girls to lure Viet Cong officers to their bedrooms-to be captured, naked and panting, by the SF. They hire Cambodian bandits to ambush Viet Cong units in Cambodia, train Meo tribesmen to fight against the Communist Pathet Lao in neutral Laos...
